"[[The Yankees]]’s owner sent down a scout to walk [[Lou Gehrig|Gehrig]] through the very basic math of a batting average. A good hitter hits .300, and hitting .350 is terrific.

Missing on six tries out of ten." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[failure]], [[consistency]], [[courage]] **Source** -- [[202409150124 - B - Discipline is Destiny]]
