Hallo Meester Prufrock

Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach, owns the highest lifetime batting average of any member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. His career mark was .366. All this means is that Ty Cobb failed to register a hit almost 64% of the time he was at the plate (walks excepted). Ty Cobb failed to produce any offense at all almost 2/3 of the time he came to bat.

I tell myself that any time a date ends awkwardly, yet somehow it fails to console me today.

Let's just say the old lifetime wish list hasn't gotten any shorter lately.
