Still, a lifetime .338 hitter vs. a lifetime .276 hitter, and the .276
guy has MORE hits? I don't get it.

At-bats were how much greater for Ripken?Tony ... 9,288

Cal ...11,551 (Ripken played in a lot more games, I guess)

2,263 more at-bats.

As Joe suggested, 'That he ONLY has 42 more hits, tells you just how good a
hitter Gwynn was.'
