What was it he said, "If you can't bat over .300 in this league, you should retire." Or was it .320?

One of my favorites: (celebrating Ty Cobb's 60th b-day)
Host: "With todays pitching, what would you be hitting right now."
Cobb: "About .270."
Host: "Wow, you think the pitching is that good today?"
Cobb: "No Genius. I'm 60 f-ing years old."
