Difficult to say what kind of pitching they faced, though.  The thing about 
great hitting is it leaves no room for error on the pitcher's part.  But I 
still think a great pitcher who is on his game could virtually shut down just 
about any lineup.  But again, the key is being on their game.  Great hitters 
make you pay for mistakes.
