To hit .4oo you better walk a LOT and you better get close to minimum plate appearences. I also never thought tallest player in NBA would be chinese so I guess I could be wrong.

It is amazing that tallest starting center in NBA is chinese and greatest male golfer is black. I would have put my life's savings on that not happening ever, 20 years ago.
