Greatest Ted Williams Auto

[JimStinson]

I didn't want to come across as sounding "paranoid" but I was thinking the exact same thing

Glad you didn't give him a crash course. I dealt quite a bit with Vincent in the late 1980's.

I appreciate you Sheldon and your attempt to educate as that ball is wretchedly good, I suppose.

John Henry was an asshole of the firstclass...I'm surprised Ted didn't view him as an 0-18 slump....that's what he amounted to.

I met Ted's personal attorney recently. During our conversation I brought up the rumor that John Henry was the best Ted forger in existence while he was alive. The guy told me a very interesting story of how Ted himself suspected the same thing and set up a sting to try to catch his son forging his name. The story involved a sick child in a hospital, etc. and either John Henry was too slick to take the bait or he was legit but he refused to sign the ball for the kid. In any event, the clouds surrounding a lot of that Green Diamond stuff will always be there.

Despite being a huge Yankee fan, I've always admired and respected Ted Williams more than just about any other player...truly the baseball equivalent of John Wayne...that said, I can not image a more sad ending to a celebrity life than what Ted went through...and to think it didn't stop when he took his last breath...in fact it got worse. He certainly deserved a lot better than he got...here's hoping that the poor guy is at peace...

When they asked the writer Ernest Hemingway why all of his novels were TRAGEDIES where the hero always dies in the end , he said that life always ends in Tragedy and the longer you live the sadder the ending.

Williams was for sure a real life Hero ! John Wayne played hero's in films. Williams lived it

Amen from another Yankee fan.
