ANAHEIM -- Khris Davis had a shot at 50 homers in Sunday's regular-season finale. In falling short, though, the A's slugger accomplished an even rarer feat.
Davis' 0-for-2 showing in the 5-4 loss to the Angels at Angel Stadium left his season average at .247 for a fourth straight year. Just how unique is this statistical oddity? He's the first qualified batter to have the same average in four consecutive seasons.
Moreover, when raising the minimum to 400 plate appearances, Davis is the only player to do it in three straight, let alone four.
