#-o Sarcasm, I hope. Based on my back-of-the-envelope compuations, absolutely not. You have to take into consideration that pitchers can perform at a high level for many more outs than the number of games a hitter can perform at. A good hitter might play in 2,000 games in his lifetime at a high level whereas a good pitcher could pitch 2,500 innnings = 7,500 outs at a high level. Imagine if Tony Gwynn could hit .340 for 7,500 games. I'd say he could have at least tied Dimaggio's record just based on the sheer number of opportunities he'd have. Hmm....now I'm thinking about running some MATLAB simulations to test out this theory.
