He was not on a winning team. Would have made a huge difference.

Default Ted Williams

It was said, "Ted Williams led the life John Wayne wished he had". As far as hitters go it`s Ted or Babe, either or, for me.

Does anyone here remember exactly what Willie Mays said about Ted? If I can remember correctly, he said how all the travelling wore him down as a player and how Ted didn't have to go through any of that. Mays had to fly to Philadelphia, Houston, back to Cali, and then to New York, etc. He said it nearly killed him.

Ted's teams were not as good as Joe D.s or Mickey M.'s Yankees. While Ted had some very good teammates (Doerr, D Dimaggio) they were out matched by the Yanks.

Trout has won MVPs on non-winning teams. Nice guy vs. not-so-nice guy (as viewed by media voters).
