Ted, I'd have given my left nut for a chance to talk with Ted Williams. Literally. I consider him the greatest pure hitter to ever play the game. Like the Splendid Splinter, I am highly analytical, with a great attention to detail. Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with the same eye, the same wiry frame and powerful arms that Ted was, or I'd have been a hell of a player myself

On my DVR, I have a few things "saved until I delete", and the HBO special on Ted Williams is one. I watch it at least every few days, and it will remain there until a.) an asteroid hits the Earth, killing all mankind, or b.) Verizon takes my DVR away.

Thank you for sharing your anecdote!
