a very key factor in the Yankees winning 8 - AL Championships in the course of 10 years.
Therefore, Ted was very instrumental getting Phil into the HOF.
Now, tell me....who are we to question Ted Williams' opinion of a player (Rizzuto) that he closely observed for 12 years of his career ? ?

Interesting that Williams would be so high on Rizzuto and not on his own ss Pesky. Pesky's numbers are comparable to Phil's and he played fewer years.
