Fan Urges Majors Change Hitting Percentage System
G K Hodemfield in San Francisco details Wally Wallace’s call to replace batting averages with a weighted hitting score. Wallace cites Ted Williams and Willie Mays as top batters, argues slugging ignores value of singles, and proposes a point system that boosts doubles and homers. He credits Babe Ruth with a great one season and recasts league leaders with his scoring method, listing Williams and Mantle among top NL and AL players.
