Baseball: Naught for Naught

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I note with dismay that in last Friday's CRIMSON your sports department perpetuated the lamentable error of daily press in giving .000 as the batting or fielding average of any baseball player who has not batted or fielded.

Any freshman taking Math 1 will tell you that writing zero-over-zero is nonsense and can just as well be .300, .995, 1.000, or even 100.000, as .000. Why not give the boys a break and either omit the average or call it 1.000 until they get a chance to perform? W. T. Fishback, 3G
