I previously posted a memo asking for the names of some baseball players with 1.000 batting averages. I got no responses. The one player I know of is Ty Pickup. He was in only one game, and I think was at bat twice. If anyone knows of some others, I'd like to hear of 'em. -- /''`\ Andre Guirard ([]-[]) De Tuss from de Tonn \ o / ihnp4!mmm!cipher `-'

Here is a complete list of all players with career 1.000 batting averages (source: The Baseball Encyclopedia, published by MacMillan) plus some interesting comments at the end: LEGEND: H = Hits, AB = At Bats, POS = Position, N = National, A = American, AA = American Association (1800's), ?? = Unknown, the Encyclopedia does not break down a pitcher's batting statistics into 1B, 2B, 3B, etc., although they do list home runs.

He played in 264 games. 2) Ray Searage is still active with the Milwaukee Brewers. 3) John Paciorek is the brother of the Met's Tom Paciorek. John played in one game (vs. the Mets) in 1963, but in that one game he had 3 hits in 3 at bats, walked 2 times, scored 4 runs and had 3 RBIs. 4) Two of the pitchers also had lifetime won/loss percentages of 1.000. John Kull and Pete Sims were each 1 and 0 for their careers. -- Peter Gayde AT&T Information Systems Naperville, IL ihnp4!{iwslc,ihuxp}!gayde Work: (312) 979-7818 Home: (312) 963-1109
