Well, in a fictional league of mine (ironically in 1941!), Roth Koertig didn't have the same kind of choice, and things didn't pan out as well for him.
He ended 162 games at 221-552, or a batting average of .4004.
Unfortunately for him, his Philadelphia Trolls were tied with the Mesa Pugs at 80-82 for the eighth and final playoff spot of the National League.
In Game 163, the Trolls won 8-2, but Koertig went 0-5, finishing with a batting average of .3968.
What a rough way to mess up a .400 season!

.397 or .400 is really no difference, as far as an accomplishment.
at least you didn't wimp out and sit him the last game. you stuck to the true spirit of competition
i don't consider Strahan a single season sack leader(or co-leader i forget), because favre and his OL just let him walk in for a sack and favre went down faster than a prom dress. no integrity, no shame - just despicable.
