1941, and Ted Williams decides .400 is a reasonable place to live. The Kid hits .406 — last man to do it, nobody since. Gets on base at .553, slugs .735, walks 147 times because pitchers would rather not. Thirty-seven homers, 120 driven in, 135 runs. He plays 143 games and treats the whole summer like his own private batting cage. The season that made the number sacred.
