The closest margin by which a batting title was ever decided was .00009. Name the player who finished second...

Ted Williams might be the player. He finished second to George Kell by a very small margin in 1949, but I don't know if it was that close.

Ahh...
This could be it...
Bill Terry finished second to chick Hafey in 1926.
By the way...Chick Hafey was a helluva a ball player

Kell vs. Williams was very, very tight, but there was another race that was even closer...

Damn. I gotta get better at math.

Hafey vs. Terry was tight, too, but again not quite the closest race.

And you're right - hafey doesn't get nearly the credit that he should. :-)

Got it! The 1945 race was the closest ever... so far.

Speaking of close, these posts within seconds of each other are pretty close, too. Might make reading this a bit confusing... :-D

The pre-work jitters. I need more coffee.
