Ted Williams has to be the greatest of Al lTime
Ted is the last to bat .400. We all know that. Then 17 years later he bats .388. Why is he my best of all time. This man was an ACE fighter pilot in Korea. He is the role model of a great American.

No lie, in the last book about him he recalls pulling up trees by the roots. He died with an unhappy family in disarray, which I think would disqualify him as being a role model. It is very hard to be both a high achiever and have a happy family.

at card shows he would ignore everyone and make an effort to intentionally smear his autograph i.e. rolling the baseball or slamming a bat (what he did to me when I was 13). however if a hot girl came up, he was all charm.
when there was the fighting over his frozen head all I could sing was "instant kharma". mickey mantle had his issues but at least he was pleasant to people paying for his autograph.

I figure if you just wanted to make a case for Ted Williams as a great American Athlete you could easily do that. He was without a doubt a great pure hitter and he put country before self. Could you imagine the numbers he would have put up if he got all of those years back from military service? I figure he possibly could have been the second player to jack 600 or even 700 HRs.

The real question is will Ted be known more for his frozen head or his play on the field 50yrs from now.

Ted Williams was able to give a carpet an electric shock.
When Ted Williams said "Jump", you didn't say, "How high?" - you asked, "When do I come down?" If Ted Williams had a beard...it would've been able to cut diamonds. Ballet was banned within a 1000 mile radius of Ted Williams. Ted Williams wore a flux capacitor on his belt and ran 88 miles per hour. Last edited by MVSNYC; 10-01-2011 at 10:02 PM.
