Colleague M. Charles Bakst, the Journal's political columnist, came by with a page from a Red Sox trivia calendar that said Ted Williams hit .323 with 31 home runs and 145 RBI as a rookie in 1939. ''I think that's wrong,'' he said. ''I thought Williams hit .327 that year.''

We looked it up. And sure enough, Williams did hit .327 in 1939.

Charlie, by the way, plans a column next week about being in the stands at Yankee Stadium for Billy Rohr's near no-hitter in April 1967.
