It's still amazing to me that Ruth's career batting average is .342. Most players would die for one season of hitting .342.

Did you ever hear of the story of manage Walter Aulstion have Hank Arron fill out the line-up card for an all star game back in the '60s. Hank had Clemente leading off, Cepeda batting second, Mays third, He hit clean up, McCovey, Musial and Earnie Banks to follow.

Imagine all that talent on one card.
