Hitter's Duel (Posted on 2024-03-16)

Ty Cobb's season batting average is the same as Shoeless Joe Jackson's at the beginning of a late season doubleheader.

Assume both players have had hundreds of at bats.

Cobb went 7 for 8 on the day (0.875) while Jackson's season average turned out to be higher than that of Cobb.

How is this possible?
