A degree in ME? Cool. Not fair to compare stats between Irchiro and SIsler. Two totally different eras. Dimaggio won the MVP in '41. Ironically, not only did Ted Williams outhit Dimaggio, his BA for the whole season (.408) was higher than Dimaggio's during the streak. This was a result of media bias against Williams.
I think Sisler's stats would even be better if he had more protection in the lineup. And even so, he did pretty well. And he also batted .309 in his last year in the pros.
