Here's an amazing stat of Ted's that some people don't know. He holds the record for consecutive games reaching base by walk, hit or hit by pitch at 84 games. Every game, 84 straight games, Ted reached base. To me, that's incredible.
I'll take Ted all day long.

Yeah, I never heard that Ted was a bad teammate, just didn't like the press or the fans. Actually, from what I've read and heard stories about, seems like Ted was a better teammate than Joe.
