id think the no no no would be in the -50000 range or so. but that cash is tied up for so long you cant really bet it.

Maximum Wager: 50.00 USD

Risk 50 to win .50 :missingte

Ted Williams was the last one to do it more then a half century ago hitting .406, so the odds against should be at least 50-1.

Take your $5037 to win $50, put it in a 6 month CD at 5% and get $125 instead.

Since the '70s, only one player per decade has hit above .380

Rod Care hit .388 in '77 with 616 at bats
George Brett hit .390 in '80 with 449 at bats
Tony Gwynn hit .394 in '94 with 419 at bats

I'd probably put 50 million on the under and line up some yokel with a tire iron as insurance.
