saw Ted Williams play at Fenway in 1955

Can't top that one, can't even come close. The best I have to offer is seeing Aaron in an exhibition game in Nashville, TN in the old Sulfer Dell park. The then Milwaukee Braves were on their way home from spring training.

I think I've told this before (there's that memory thing), but my best Williams tale involves a newspaper article, I saw in the early '60s. It involves the use of the then new technology of photographing a hitter while the ball was in the air. The photographs reveled that only three major league players kept "their eye on the ball". That two of them were Williams and Musial, surprised no one. The third was an unheard of rookie from Cincinnati - some guy named Bench.
