William Henry Perry (July 28, 1886 – July 18, 1956), nicknamed "Socks," was a Major League Baseball player who played for the Detroit Tigers in 1912.
 Hank "Socks" Perry played in 13 games, 7 as the backup center fielder to Ty Cobb, and the rest as a pinch-hitter.
 Perry had a .167 career batting average, not good enough to compete for playing time in center field with Cobb.
 Perry played with the Providence Grays in 1910 and earned the title Independent League Batting Champ for that year.
 In 1911 he played with the Sacramento Solons of the West Coast League, who traded him to the Detroit Tigers.
 Perry died in 1956 at age 69 in Pontiac, Michigan.
In baseball, batting average (AVG) is a measure of a batter's success rate in achieving a hit during an at bat.
 In Major League Baseball (MLB), it is calculated by dividing a player's hits by his at bats (AB).
 In MLB, a player in each league wins the "batting title" each season for having the highest batting average that year.
 The American League (AL) winner is known as the "Rod Carew American League Batting Champion", while the National League (NL) leader is designated the "Tony Gwynn National League Batting Champion".
 Under current rules, a player must have 3.1 plate appearances (PA) per team game (for a total of 502 over the current 162-game season) to qualify for the batting title.
 However, if a player's lead in AVG is sufficiently large that enough hitless at bats can be added to reach this requirement and the player still would have the highest batting average, he wins the title.
 Tony Gwynn, for example, had 159 hits in 451 ABs in 1996 (.353 average) but only 498 PAs.
 Gwynn's batting average would have dropped to .349 (159 hits in 455 ABs) with four hitless ABs added to reach the 502 PA requirement, but this would still have been higher than the next-highest eligible player (.344 average), so he was awarded the 1996 NL batting title.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb (December 18, 1886 – July 17, 1961), nicknamed The Georgia Peach, was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder.
 He was born in rural Narrows, Georgia.
 Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team's player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics.
 In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes (98.2%); no other player received a higher percentage of votes until Tom Seaver in 1992.
 In 1999, editors at the "Sporting News" ranked Ty Cobb 3rd on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players".
The 1903 Cleveland Naps season was the third Major League Baseball season for the Cleveland American League team.
 After two seasons as the Bluebirds – unofficially known as the Blues in 1901 and the Bronchos (or Broncos) in 1902 – the team was renamed for the 1903 season in honor of star second baseman Nap Lajoie.
 The team finished third in the league with a record of 77–63, 15 games behind the Boston Americans.
In Major League Baseball (MLB), the 3,000 hit club is the group of batters who have collected 3,000 or more regular-season hits in their careers.
 Cap Anson was the first to join the club on July 18, 1897, although his precise career hit total is unclear.
 Two players—Nap Lajoie and Honus Wagner—reached 3,000 hits during the 1914 season.
 Ty Cobb became the club's fourth member in 1921 and became the first player in MLB history to reach 4,000 hits in 1927; he ultimately finished his career with more than 4,100.
 Pete Rose became the second member of the 4,000 hit club on April 13, 1984 while playing for the Montreal Expos.
 Cobb, also the major leagues' all-time career batting average leader, remained the MLB hit leader until September 11, 1985, when Rose collected his 4,192nd hit.
 Rose, the current record holder, finished his career with 4,256 hits.
 Roberto Clemente's career ended with precisely 3,000 hits, reaching the mark in the last at bat of his career on September 30, 1972.
Lawrence Joseph Doyle (July 31, 1886 – March 1, 1974), nicknamed "Laughing Larry", was an American second baseman in Major League Baseball from 1907 to 1920 who played almost his entire career for the New York Giants.
 The National League's outstanding second baseman during the 1910s, he was awarded the 1912 Chalmers Award as the league's best player, and won the 1915 batting title with a .320 average.
 The team captain and top everyday star on three consecutive pennant winners (1911–13), his .408 career slugging average was the top mark by an NL second baseman when he retired, as were his career totals in hits (1887), doubles (299), triples (123), total bases (2654) and extra base hits (496).
 He ended his career among the major league leaders in career games (5th, 1730), putouts (9th, 3635), assists (9th, 4654), total chances (9th, 8732) and double plays (5th, 694) at second base, and set Giants franchise records for career games, at bats and doubles, each of which was broken by Bill Terry.
Duff Gordon "Sir Richard" Cooley (March 29, 1873August 9, 1937) was a professional baseball player whose career spanned 17 seasons, 13 of which were spent in Major League Baseball (MLB).
 Cooley, an outfielder and first baseman, had a career batting average of .294 in 1,317 games played.
 He compiled 849 runs, 1,579 hits, 180 doubles, 102 triples, 26 home runs, and 557 runs batted in (RBI).
 In Major League history, he is tied in 148th place for most all-time triples and, his 224 career stolen bases, place him equal 279th on the all-time list.
 Cooley made his Major League debut at the age of 20, and spent the majority of his career there, but he also appeared in minor league baseball.
 After breaking his leg with the Tigers in 1905, he was replaced with future Hall of Fame outfielder Ty Cobb.
 Cooley, nicknamed "Sir Richard" due to his aristocratic manner, was listed as standing 5 ft and weighing 158 lb .
The 1910 Chalmers Award scandal was an incident in which a Major League Baseball team tried to give Nap Lajoie the batting title over Ty Cobb.
William Reginald Armour (September 3, 1869 – December 2, 1922) was a professional baseball player and manager.
 He was the manager of the Cleveland Bronchos in 1902 when they signed Nap Lajoie to the most lucrative contract in baseball history and the manager of the Detroit Tigers when they acquired Ty Cobb in 1905.
Oscar George "Ox" Eckhardt (December 23, 1901 – April 22, 1951) was an outfielder for the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Eckhardt holds the all-time professional baseball record for batting average, counting both major and minor league stats.
 His .192 in 57 major league plate appearances barely lowered his .367 career batting average in the minors (second all-time among minor league-only batting averages to Ike Boone's .370).
 Eckhardt ends up fractionally ahead of #2 Ty Cobb, whose career .366 is also lowered marginally by his minor league stats.
