We all know that Rod Carew is batting about .397 or so and is a good candidate for a .400 season. However, Wade Boggs of the Boston Red Sux is batting about .371. Does anyone think that he might bat .400 this year? Is he a rookie or is this his second year? Has a rookie ever batted .400 ? Does anyone think that Jim Rice, Dale Murphy, or Andre Dawson will win a triple crown this or any other year? And here's some trivia. Who won the AL home run title in 1972 and from what team was he and how many did he hit?

I`m glad to see that someone else besides myself has been
watching the batting average list to see Wade Boggs slowly
and quietly move himself up over .370 at the same time
Carew has slipped under .400. Boggs is in his second
season in Boston (Red Sox fans correct me if I`m wrong).
Last year he had a very good average as I recall (.350 or
higher), and is showing that the sophomore jinx hasn`t
hit him. I don`t know how good he is in the field, though.
Maybe some Boston fans could give us some more info on
this young sensation.
On a different note, did you see that Phillie fired Pat
Corrales? I haven`t seen a paper in a few days, but I
know they`re right in the thick of the NL East race,
which makes it unusual. What happened?

P.S. Don`t look now, but the Pirates are HOT, and my poor

Pat Corales feceived a vote of confidence from the team owner about a month ago. That is usually a good sign that he's on his way out. I think the reason behind his firing was one of philosophy, and that there were irreconcilable differences between the manager and owner. Phillies fans correct me if I'm wrong.
