Williams the last man to bat .400
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
• Ted Williams hits .406 in 1941:  56k | 300k
Ted Williams woke up on the final day of the 1941 season with an average of .399955. That rounds out to .400 the way stats are calculated.
But Williams -- a baseball immortal -- had his own way of calculating.
To the sweet-swinging Red Sox superstar, there was no such thing as rounding off to .400. He saved that for the mathematicians. Hitters? They do their work with a bat, not a calculator.
