Oy. Splitting hairs here. Williams was a better hitter hands down. Joe edges out Ted as an overall player. That said, DiMaggio pussied out at age 36 before he started to decline whereas as Williams stuck it out to age 42. Maybe that makes Joe smarter or maybe it makes him a pansy....your decision. However, if we're strictly comparing their respective primes, I would take Williams and sacrifice a little defense for arguably the best hitter of all time.
