In 1995, Derek Jeter batted .250 (12 hits in 48 at bats) and David Justice .253 (104/411). Justice was better.
In 1996, Jeter hit .314 (183/582) and Justice .321 (45/140). Again, Justice was the better hitter.
Yet ... who was a better hitter over that stretch of 2 years?

Quoted from hwyhed:Sault saint Marie greyhounds?
Nope, northerndude nailed it in the first post below.....it was the Indianapolis Racers.

The owner of the Racers actually traded/sold Gretzky to the Oilers early in the season, then folded the team about a month or so later. Mark Messier was on the Racers as well I believe.
Quoted from EchoVictor:Cool....never knew that Messier was there too.

Jacques Demers was the coach at one point too
Quoted from RJW:Name the 3 undrafted players that rushed for over 1000 yards in the NFL during their rookie year.
Philip Lindsay has got to be one
Yup, he's the most recent.
Hint on the 2nd. Would have been drafted fairly high if not for punching another player in the handshake line post game in college.

Isn't San Marino an independent country, so there must be three?

You must be a fellow geography hobbyist. I was the only little kid around who collected maps years ago.
Speaking of which, you especially must know that Canada has the longest coastline by far.
Which country has the second longest?
(I had a good idea about it but had to google to double-check)

I've always been a geography nut. As a kid my parents would buy placemats for the supper table that were geography related. (World, Canada, USA,etc)
So once my plate was empty I would look at the maps 
Russia?
