Rather?: .400 vs 3000

[ELTEXAN]

Would you rather have:
A. 2568 hits and batted .400 in a single (qualified) season.
B. 3004 hits and career average .286

 

[williewilliejuan]

.400 easily

 

[RubinRock]

2568 hits in a season is pretty impressive. Probably going with option B tho. 2568 hits in a season means a lot of at-bats, and I doubt they're paying me extra for all that OT.

 

[fordman84]

Gotta go with A, no doubt!

That's my thinking as well.

 

[fordman84]

Assuming OP just flubbed the question again, I'll say .400 in a season.

Yeah, he was trying to say 2,568 career hits with one 0.400 season, but worded it poorly.

I’m going with 3k hits for a career. Much like the other poll, it probably means you played longer and made more money

All of my hits were home runs, so I’m killing it on endorsements. Even got my picture on a Bud Light can.

All of my hits were triples, and triples are more rare and therefore better than home runs

Triples only get your picture on Michelob Ultra.

Sam Crawford agrees with you

In fairness, to @williewilliejuan, about half of his homers were inside-the-parkers.

 

[huskers1217]

3.000 hits.

i think that is going to become as rare as 100 SB in a season soon.

OP messing up a poll/question? Say it ain't so.

All of my hits were singles and then I stole 2b and 3b to set all sorts of new records.

I think .300 careers are going to be more rare. I could see longevity increasing, but with improving defense and pitching and more development of kids in an ultimate-outcome mode getting on base isn't as important.

Didn’t flub. Y’all just expanding the modifier to the ridiculous instead of using the modifier as obviously intended

 

[Big Al Rogorson]

3000 hits gets you into Cooperstown (minus the Hit King). A .400 season doesn't necessarily do that.
