Wrong Batting Average

edit

I was watching Last Man Standing, and they mentioned Mike Baxter - I looked on WIkipedia, and although it was the wrong Mike Baxter, I noticed that the baseball players career average was off.

Currently it states the following:

Batting average .989

I am not a baseball fan and know little of the game, but even I know that a career average of 0.325 would be impressive. I sort of assume these numbers are feeds from some baseball stat site, but I don't know which one is the best. The link shows his average way below 0.989, but I did not want to correct this for two reasons:

1. I am not an expert on the subject, and 2. There may be a data feed problem (more global problem).

The sources cited in the article have the correct batting avg. at .214 - considerably lower than the one you had seen posted!. Someone was probably having a little fun - perhaps seeing how long it would take for someone to spot that. Thanks for catching the obvious inaccuracy and bringing attention to it. The correction has been made.--JayJasper (talk) 07:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
