See if you can solve this hypothetical problem

Top of the ninth in the last game of the season.  The Yankees are at
Fenway Park, in a meaningless game, both teams several games behind
Cleveland.  (Remember, I said hypothetical :-)  )
At this point, everyone is just playing for statistics.

New York is up a run when Mattingly comes to bat.  Mattingly is batting
.389 (210 hits in 540 ABs), exactly tied with Boggs (2l7/558) who is due
to lead off the bottom of the inning.

Question: who wins the batting title, and why?

Answer in a few days.
