JULY 18, 1977

In a first-person story called "I Hope Rod Carew Hits .400," Williams analyzed Carew's game and discusses his chances. He also talked about how the game has changed since he became the last .400 hitter (.406 in 1941), what that year was like for him, and what kind of player it takes to hit .400. Carew would finish the season at .388, the highest average of his 19-year career.
