1941
Ted Williams raises his batting average over .400 for the first time during the season. His run to be the first since Bill Terry in 1930 to exceed the magic number will be marked in newspapers throughout the season‚ although it will often give way to the batting streak by Joe DiMaggio. DiMag singles today‚ off Boston's Lefty Grove. Grove thus joins two of baseball's most famous streaks-Joe's current hitting streak and Ruth's 60 homers in 1927. Lefty served up a gopher on September 27‚ 1927.
