Oakland Athletics star slugger Brent Rooker joked Monday that he would have hit .300 if former MLB hitters scored games.

When asked if he can appeal calls, Rooker said the following:

Rooker still had a fantastic season, hitting .293 (.927 OPS) with 39 home runs and 112 RBI. The All-Star nearly achieved the .300 feat too, finding himself hitting .304 on Sept. 18. A four-game hitless slump dipped Rooker under .300, but that doesn't take away from a phenomenal year.
