1.000 (pronounced one thousand, even though technically it's a one) is the perfect batting average. Many of Baseball's averages are like percentages but with a third digit past the decimal point, and spoken as though they were whole numbers. So a team that wins 50% of its games is referred to as having a 500 winning percentage, or playing 500 ball. A player who gets a hit in 30% of his at bats is described as a 300 hitter. And a player that gets hits in all of his at bats is batting a thousand.
