message: Why are the flags there?  They are just useless and and this is an international sport, there's no reason to keep them in. — mrmaroon25 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The flags are part of the player template.  They are included on all MLB current roster articles, some all-time roster articles and in article of other international sports.  If they are relevant on other baseball articles, then there is no reason for them not to be relevant here. - Masonpatriot 14:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

*The phrase "create hits" in the first sentence seems awkward
*Could refs 1 and 2 be moved to the end of the sentence they are in?
*"502 for the current 162 game schedule" --> "for a total of 502 over the season"
*Third paragraph, and Hugh Duffy set the current record mark in 1894 posting a .4397 batting average. "by posting", perhaps?
*Under the 3.1 PA qualification –" Under the current 3.1 PA qualification"?
*"Since Williams' 1941 George Brett in 1980 was the only player to maintain a batting average above .400 into September" seems oddly worded
*"he closest finish in a batting race came in 1945 when Snuffy Stirnweiss batted .309, topping Tony Cuccinello's .308 average for the American League title by just .00009.[21]" needs another ref that indicates what the two's averages were. Ref 21 only gives the .00009 figure. (From a different person on 12 March 2015, I used data from Retrosheet to compute those averages, and when I took the results to 5 decimal places, I came up with a difference of only .00008 .)

message: This story suggests that Selig said they "generally don't interfere" with the batting title process in response to a question about Melky Cabrera, his PED suspension, and the potential that he might win the batting title. Should that happen this would likely be worthy of a note (especially in discussing the 'adding hitless ABs' section). Staxringold talkcontribs 19:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Note for the near future

message: Apparently there was an attempt to re-calculate batting averages of that year without walks, because that year only (see "hit" page here on Wikipedia) walks were counted as hits.  If the corrected averages were used for 1887, we do need to say that here.  Counting walks as hits made for higher batting averages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.47 (talk) 19:53, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  need comment about 1887 

message: Notice these 2 sentences:
>Under the current 3.1 PA qualification, players have posted a .400 batting average for a season 28 times. Ted Williams' .4057 in 1941 the most recent such season, one of 13 to occur since 1900.
Besides the "nitpick" I see above (should be using "3.1 PA per game"), that rule was not yet in use in 1941.  In 1954, the old rule (2.6 at-bats per game) was still in use and caused Ted Williams to lose that year's AL batting title to Bobby Avila.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.47 (talk) 19:59, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  3.1 plate appearances per game was not in use yet in 1941 

message: What is the meaning of this language?
>In COD, kill death (KD) is a measure of a batter's success rate in achieving a hit during an 1v1. In Major League Gaming (MLG), it is calculated by dividing a player's hit markers or trickshots by his sniper (AB). In MLG, a player in each league[L] wins the "batting title" each season for having the highest KD average that year.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 16:47, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
