How important do you have to be to get a personal phone call from Hugo Chavez? At least as awesome as Magglio Ordonez.The Detroit Tigers finished their final game of the season Sunday night with a 3-for-4 night from the American League batting champ, who won't be playing baseball this October.
Ordonez ended the year with a .363 batting average, crowning him the best hitter in the American League, which was no surprise, as he led the majors in that category for most of the season.
Meanwhile, Chipper Jones, who failed to get a hit on Sunday, was about ready to continue his constant reign of awesomeness with a .337 average for the National League batting title when suddenly, the Padres and Rockies got to play 163 games in their seasons.NL MVP candidate Matt Holliday, who went 2-for-6 on Monday to earn the title, finished his outstanding year batting .340 with 36 homers and 137 RBIs for the Rockies.
Congratulations boys!

Welcome back! I thought you died.
I think I was on the verge...
Actually Holliday's batting title was more or less wrapped up after 162 games, he simply needed to not go 0-for-5 during the tiebreaker to hold onto his lead. If the tiebreaker never happened, Holliday wins by 3 points.
Did I fail to point that out? ;) Yes, thank you.
