Answers:
Has there ever been an inside the park grand slam?
I agree with you being Ty Cobb.His lifetime batting average was a ridiculous .367 in a span of 22 years! He's never went lower than .320 a season and has finished batting over .400 3 times. He's even won the triple crown! Now thats CONTACT!
Good Question! I'll give you the top 2. It's a toss up, so take your pick you can't go wrong with either.
Tony Gwynn
Rod Carew
rod carew
twins all the way.
Why is tori hunter wearing #42 and not 48?
You sure named some great ones and I'll add my favorite contact hitter of my time. How about Rod Carew?Which Yankee position player will be the first one forced into pitching relief?
I'll give my top two.I vote for Rod Carew (I'm a life long Twinkies fan)
and
Ted Williams
To not go with Ted Williams would not only be an insult to red sox nation but also to baseball.

No one ever thinks of Rogers Hornsby. Not only is he second in career batting average to Ty Cobb, but he batted over .400 in three of our four consecutive seasons, with the 'off' year being .397. If nothing else, you could definitely argue that he may have been the best.Can I bring a backpack into AT&T Park?
There's no question about it - the greatest contact hitter of all-time is Joe Sewell.In 7,132 at-bats, Sewell struck out only 114 times, or once every 62 at-bats. That's far and away the best, and even guys like Hornsby, Ichiro, Gwynn, or anyone else can't compete with those numbers.

Rod Carew, Tony Gwynn, George Brett... Right now I would say it is Mauer, Ichiro, and Helton.So where is the sub category for SOFTBALL?
In my research I have run across some very unusual statistics. One of the oddest Stat lines are the hitting statistics of "pitcher" Johnny Sain. He may be the greatest "contact" hitter in the modern history of baseball. >If you mean, when he went to the plate he put the ball in play< He went to the plate 856 times in his career, he walked 24 times and only struck out 20 times(once every 42.8 plate appearances .In 1946 Johnny Sain went to the plate 104 times >zero walks and zero strikeouts for the entire year. He also hit 298 that year >not bad for a pitcher<

Who will win the 2007 world series?
Ty Cobb .367 career average! Enough said!What Major league franchise has the best % winning record?
You've named some good ones already, but I think Joe DiMaggio needs to be high on the list. The 56 game hit streak was followed by another lengthy streak in 1941. If I recall correctly, he only struck out a ridiculously low amount as well that season. (Maybe less than 30?) During his whole career, he put the ball in play.More Questions & Answers...
