    doing well, thanks for asking ....i havent been watching much Yankee baseball due to the extended tax season, two years in a row....
    just went for my first covid shot on Tuesday and had the usual side affects yesterday...chills..slight fever, flipping thru the channels i saw the final out of Kluber's no no..and as usual we have Stanton injuried...judge apparently injuried and sanchez sucking....

    Next question; Without Googling, name the four hitters who, since World War II, had five or more seasons batting .350 or better.

    I'm going to guess based on the greatest Hitters I've seen in my time-
    Off the top of my head..
    Ted Williams
    Rod Carew
    Tony Gwynn
    Wade Boggs

    I'm going to chew on it the rest of the night while I cook dinner and bake Kim's birthday cake. One of my favorites the German chocolate cake recipe from The bakers square chocolate bar.

    No need to chew any further how in the hell could I have overlooked and Stan the Man Musial?

    Because he like Ted Williams, did play when I was a kid, my memories are not as vivid. Stan the man was by far the best autograph I have ever obtained in person, and nobody else came close!

    Matts, remember that the question was "Since WWII....."

    I need your final answer....a bag of Chee-tos hangs in the balance.

    Next question; Without Googling, name 3 of the 5 hitters ranked in the top 25 in career singles, doubles and triples.

    (since it is such a tough question, I lowered the answer from 5 to 3)

    I know 2 of those guys, I think:

    Musial
    Cobb

    I gotta' think on this one a bit longer, and channel the baseball gods, but not in a field of corn, rather a field of tumbleweeds and blowing dirt...
