1995 .253 104/411 .250 12/48
1997 .329 163/495 .291 190/654
==========================================
Comb. .295 267/906 .288 202/702
Justice's numbers, Jeter's numbers
If Jeter had hit better in 1997, much closer to Justice's average, it would have been true because Jeter very few at bats in 1995 and many more at bats in 1997 than Justice. For some bizarre reason, the show used fictitious numbers that didn't even add up, alleging that Justice hit .321 and .329 for a combined average of .298.
How a show that's supposed to be so math-oriented can screw up arithmetic so badly would be a a mystery if it weren't for the fact that mathematicians are notoriously bad at basic arithmetic.
H/T Amnesia, who also got it wrong.
UPDATE: Aha! Reader Brian Thomas explains it all. See comments.]]>
