He hit .390 in 1980. He needed to hit .420 the last 6 games to be .400, but didn't do it.
He had over 3k hits, & 317 career HR. And, he only struck out a bit over 900 times in 21 years. Under 44 per year while walking more than 50 times each season.
I agree on Carew & Gwynn, but I think Brett belongs in their company.
