Manny Ramirez's batting average stands at .404 since his trade to the Dodgers. Statistics are reported for each league separately, so if Manny maintains that level, he'll hold most league at bats for a .400 average since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941:

Manny accumulated 171 at bats with the Dodgers so far. Manny should have about 25 at bats left. That would give him 196 at bats in the National League. He'll need 79 hits total to hit .400 with that number of at bats,so he needs to go 10 for 25. Given that he's a .314 career hitter, he has about a 23% chance of making it.
