Day 7 in the Void - what to learn from a .328 lifetime hitter

I found this quote at the Baseball Hall of Fame site, discussing Wade Boggs, on the 3 things that made him the great hitter he was.

In 1985, Boston's hitting coach (and Lau disciple) Walt Hriniak described what made Boggs so good. "Three things. He's got a balanced, workable stance. He's got great discipline for the strike zone. And he lowers his head on the baseball better than anyone else in baseball. He's not a good hitter, he's a great hitter. Exceptional. When it's all done and over with, you'll see some of the greatest stats of any hitter in the last 30 years."

When it was done and over with, after the 1999 season, Boggs had a .328 lifetime average (currently 34th all-time), 3,010 hits (23rd), 578 doubles (15th), 4,445 times on base (18th), and a .415 on-base percentage (26th).
