Through his storied tenure with the Red Sox, he pretty much got his wish. He not only hit, he <i>knew</i> how to hit; there was no keener, more devoted, more articulate student of the art. <i>The Science of Hitting</i> is his comprehensive book of wisdom and anecdote, a baseball bible that offers clear, concise, well-illustrated, fundamental information on how to hit a baseball and, just as important, how to <i>think</i> about hitting a baseball.

In 1941, that happy zone was obviously ecstatic; Williams hit .406 that year, the last to break the magic .400 barrier. 199032 29 4 1986 The Science of Hitting total:41|5:16|4:14|3:9|2:1|1:1| 41 166 50 7 4 0 false false Tue Jun 05 10:24:33 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 05 10:35:10 -0700 2007
