Baseball’s return: Why we care
I feel moved at the prospect of baseball’s return. Why do I care? Why does it matter if baseball goes on?
For my father, the answer was simple: The “why” isn’t important. We should be “concerned with how it is done, not why,”
“The why comes of itself.”
It would be kind of cool if someone took down Hugh Duffy's .440 BA in 1894.

So is a 3 game season legitimate?
But seriously, with what is happening to the Marlins, there is no way to see this season as legitimate. It will always be remembered as a joke of a season.

Just taking a look - assuming these 12 Marlins players are out for a minimum of two weeks, that's almost 22% of their schedule without 12 players. Kind of hard to argue that's legitimate.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
The length of the season doesn’t bother me, but a couple outbreaks that turn contenders into AAAA squads for weeks at a time would make the season a total joke. Not looking good on that front so far.
I believe, at least back then, not sure about now, but it should be, that if a player doesn't reach the minimum number of PA, if they can add the amount needed to ABs to reach it without adding any hits and he still would have the highest average, he wins title. Point being, I doubt if the minimum was 502, Ozzie would've won the batting title.
So if player A has 500 PAs and leads league with.350 BA and player B has 502 ABs is 2nd in league with .340 BA, if adding 2 ABs to player A without adding any hits puts him at .341 or above, he wins title.
