Ted Williams entered the last two games of the 1941 season at .3995. Had he sat out, his average would have rounded up to .400. At least according to legend, Ted scoffed at the idea of sitting out a meaningless doubleheader against the A's to preserve his .400. He played, and Connie Mack instructed his pitchers not to let up on him. He went 6 for 8. That is a mensch.
