Ted Williams was told by his manager Joe Cronin that he could sit out the last two games of the season in 1941.
He was hitting .401 going into them. He played and went something like 6 for 8 and finished with a .406 BA. That's the way to do it.

You did the right thing by playing him.

Thanks for posting the error.

It got garbled in the programming conversion, I guess.

I'll BZ it. Markus will have to fix it.
