Challenges the traditional list of all-time hitters, which places Ty Cobb first, Tony Gwynn 16th, and includes just 8 players whose prime came after 1960. Here, the author argues that the raw batting averages used as the list's basis should be adjusted to take into account that the hitters played in different eras, with different rules.
