Slightly OT: Ted Williams, David Ortiz and my Dad

A wonderful story....thanks for posting your Dad's experience.


I'm a life-long Yankees fan....growing up in the late 1940's and the 1950's. Anyhow, I would cheer for Ted Williams to hit HR's at Yankee Stadium.
And, I've seen Ted hit many of them there (and some tremendous HR's in the upper RF seats).

Ted was one of my favorite ballplayers during my youth. Your Dad and I are very fortunate to have seen Ted play.

Thanks for sharing! The bond, it seems, you & your dad have is wonderful. My dad and I had a similar (strong) bond. He passed away last year...cherish the time with your dad (I am sure you do).

PS- tonight (now) on MLB Network, they have a special on his ".406" season.

Scott that was a nice post. Glad your dad got to witness Teddy Ballgame & Big Papi's farewell
& the latter w/ you.

A great day, Scott, for you both to cherish, always. I am fortunate to also have seen Teddy Ballgame hit a homer - at long-gone Griffith Stadium in DC.
