“The Mendoza Line in baseball is slang for a subpar batting average of .200 (20%), marking the supposed threshold of offensive futility for a Major League player, named after light-hitting shortstop Mario Mendoza who often hovered around that average. Coined by teammates in the late 1970s as a good-natured joke, the term became famous after George Brett used it in a 1980 interview, and it's now a common phrase for players struggling to hit for average.”

Hopefully football Mendoza has a better career.
