  1. steve heaters


  2. Its mendoza with a avg less than 270

  3. Easy one Bill Bergen

    He played eleven seasons in the National League, three with the Cincinnati Reds and eight with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

    Bergen's claim to fame is his complete inability to hit. The question of who was the worst hitter of all time is obviously a subjective one, but what is known is that no one played as long as Bill Bergen and hit so poorly. Bergen had 3,028 at-bats in his career, and in that time he compiled a batting average of .170, the all-time record low for players who compiled more than 2,500 at-bats. Bergen's career on-base percentage was .194 -- he is the only player with at least 500 at-bats with an OBP under .200. He had only two home runs. In 1909, Bergen hit .139, the lowest average ever for a player who qualified for the batting title. That season, he set another record for futility by going 46 at-bats in a row without a base hit, the longest streak ever by a position player.

    He played so long because he was a terrific catcher ..I mean a great one of the best fielders ever.  Bergen ranks ninth on the all-time list for assists by a catcher with 1,444, despite never being a full-time player. He set several fielding records.  His .989 fielding percentage in 1909 was a record (since broken) for a catcher. On August 23, 1909, he threw out six St. Louis Cardinals on the base-paths, a record that still stands.

  4. Probably Mendoza
