Speaking ill of the dead is not considered PC but John Henry Williams was not a good son according to most stories I have heard. From what he did to his dad to what he did with a sharpie and pen, the stories are out there of his bad behavior.
And much Green Diamond stuff that I have seen reinforces those stories.
btw - that signed photo, he signed others for me also, was after I spent over an hour with him, one on one, in his agents card store as he regaled me with many baseball stories. It was truly one of the most exciting 60+ minutes of my life.
I know there are stories out there about his ill tempered behavior but he was great to me and the time I spent with him is a memory I will always treasure.
And as a bonus to my meeting Ted,,, his agent was also the agent for Monte Irvin. I met Irvin and spent most of the day with him, going to lunch and dinner with him and then back to the hotel. He was a gentleman and told this former NY Giants fan many, many stories. He also signed about 20 wire photos I had of him and told me the story about every one of them.
