Howard Sprague tries to impress his 'younger brother' by mentioning that Stan Musial had a career batting average of .334. Though it had been mentioned, earlier, that Howard was not the baseball fan as he had originally suggested, Stan Musial's career batting average was actually .331. This would be in keeping with Howard's earlier slip-ups in baseball knowledge, though the scene in which he mentions this fact seems to suggest he had since brushed up on a few notable facts about the sport and the players. So one would think he would have gotten this very specific fact correct on the first go, especially since the moment was not played for comedic effect when he made the utterance.
