    Ichiro 3-K quest once-in-a-generation treat for Wrigley Field fans By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, August 1, 2016 If you’re patient, you’ll see everything at Wrigley Field. On Sunday night, July 31, 41,000 and a na- tional TV audience witnessed lefty Travis Wood pitch, shift to left field for two in- nings, make a Web Gems catch in the ivy and pitch again. Meanwhile, the Cubs wiped out an early 6-0 deficit, scoring runs via a bases-loaded walk and hit batsman. They tallied the tying run on a wild, wild pitch, then the winner on a squeeze by a pitcherwhose handling of the bat might as Ichiro Suzuki (left) has matched Stan Musial's well been Superman wielding Kryptonite. 16-season pace in reaching the 3,000-hit level. Rare can you go to Wrigley in back-to-back games and possibly see something sensational. All-time import Ichiro Suzuki came into the Friendly Confines Monday night, Aug. 1 just two hits short of 3,000. He was likely to get at least two out of three starts with three Cubs right-handers scheduled to toe the slab. Give Ichiro his due. He’s been in a hurry to reach the traditional baseball hit-king mile- stone since he took the Mariners by storm in with 242 hits in 2001 straight from Japan. Four years later, the consummate batsman beat George Sisler’s all-time seasonal rec- ord by five with 262 hits. Now, he’s in line to match Stan “The Man” Musial’s pace in achieving the 3,000-hit mark in their 16th season.

  • NO SEASON BETTER the Phenomenal 1920 Season of George Sisler
    NO SEASON BETTER The Phenomenal 1920 Season of George Sisler Michael Round Center for auto SOCRATIC EXCELLENCE www.rationalsys.com (913) 515-3911 The benchmark for a good season, batting-average wise, is 300. A great hitter hits 400. Most people know the statistic: Ted Williams was the last 400 hitter - 406 in 1941. Each year, excitement is rampant as a player or two toys with the magic 400 level, before usually collapsing in late-season. But how would one gauge "the best season"? Sure, one could rank annual batting champions, and search for the highest average. That'd be easy - maybe even right. This analysis, based on data from Retrosheet, suggests the 1920 season of George Sisler stands above all others. 1 Clearly, by the table, Nap Lajoie's 426 average makes this the best hitting season, followed by the great Rogers Hornsby at 424, and George Sisler and Ty Cobb, each with 420 seasons. But is this right? Has a 400 hitter with 400 at-bats, for example, had a better season than a player hitting 380 with 600 at- bats? As note above, several players have flirted with the magical "400", only to fall off as the season progresses. Is our 400 hitter above any different? These are only two variables - average and # of at-bats. Surely, there are others: on-base %, slugging %, home-runs, etc. Let's assume, for this sake of this argument, I'm interested only in batting average. Wouldn't it be neat, before answering the question above of who's best, to look at the performance of all batters over the years? That is, plot all players' statistics.
