It's Reyes against the NL for the league batting championship, not necessarily Reyes against Braun, who might drop down a few slots, or drop out and become irrelevant.

If black arts include catching fly balls, then not very good at all.

Braun has played 124 games, Reyes 100.......if Reyes played the rest out he would be at what 130+.....by comparison Fielder has played 136 games.

Neither the Mets nor the Brewers (in either league) have had a batting champion.

I would've too. He came in second twice, in 1987 when he hit .353 to Wade Boggs' .363 and in 1993 when he hit .332 to John Olerud's .363. The way to beat Paul Molitor in a batting race was to bat .363.

Looking up his numbers, I found it more than a little strange that after his .353 in 1987, his next 5 highest averages came at 34 and older...

DHing keeps you healthy.

Robin Yount hit .331 in 1982, one point behind Willie Wilson. Cecil Cooper hit .352 in 1980 --- an amazing number that he elected to put up the year George Brett hit .390. Also good for second.

I'm guessing the Wallbangers didn't like Whitey's Royals.

REYES .335
Braun .331

Mets posted the race on the CitiVision board after Jose was intentionally walked in the ninth. Can't decide whether that's jinxy.
