The year he hit .405, it was figured out if he played today, with the base-on-ball counted as a none at bat, Williams would have hit about .411! He was the best.

Pure hitter ... yeah. Even if he's a RedSox.

Not bad power numbers too. Especially when one realises that the war took him in his prime.

How was he defensively? Gwynn was a gold glover several times. A very good rightfielder.

In his early years ... he struggled ... I think it delayed his being called up ... he was solid ... as a leftfielder ... overall
