Pretty Girl 09.08.10 - Adrianne Palicki

I remember her fondly from when Friday Night Lights was good.

First Class - Hugh Duffy

Sir Hugh holds the record for the highest single season batting average, .440.  Oddly, SABR didn't find his last hit of 1894 until well after he died.  That's why he's pointing out .438 to Ted Williams.  In '94 he won the triple crown w/ 18HR and 145RBI, also piling up 51 2B, 237H, 160R, 16 3B & 48SB.  One of the best ever, and a personal favorite, Duffy is a 1945 HOF inductee.  The tall dude in the portrait is Cy Young.  Cheers.
