He is the only man of his generation with the gifts-and the hard-won mastery of the art of hitting-to have a shot at joining the select club of the .400 hitters, which includes Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Nap Lajoie, George Sisler, Rogers Hornsby, Harry Heilmann and Bill Terry. In an era when batters must contend with night games and coast-to-coast jet lag -handicaps that the oldtimers never faced-the intense first baseman of the Minnesota Twins was hitting .402 last week and had been...
