    Hitting is so much about hand-eye coordination, and no one had more of it than Tony Gwynn. It is why he finished with a .338 average and eight batting titles; only Ty Cobb had more. It is why he hit .300 for 19 straight seasons; only Cobb had a longer streak. It is how he hit .368 for a five-year period; even Ted Williams didn't do that. And it is why Gwynn never struck out more than 40 times in a season, he had 297 three-hit games, one three-strikeout game.
