The fans speak out.(Letter To The Editor)(Letter to the Editor)
There was a chart in the October issue showing players who batted below .300 while compiling at least 200 hits in a season.
Has there been any major league player who never had a 200-hit season, but was elected to the Hall of Fame?
Peter Opatz
West St. Paul, Minn.
There have been 59 major league Hall of Fame players who never collected as many as 200 hits in one season.
These players include eight first basemen, five second basemen, 11 shortstops, four third basemen, seven left fielders, four center fielders, seven right fielders and 13 catchers.
There are some surprising names on the list including Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Mickey Mantle and Mel Ott.
