OT/ns. Ted Williams was truly amazing. Consider for a minute that this was a guy with a strike zone big enough to drive a truck through. He was 6' 4". But in a game where men well under 6' usually hit for the highest batting averages? Theodore was a pitchers worst nightmare! And the last man to hit over 400 for a full season (in 1941). But that wasn't all. He wasn't just a great "contact hitter" who could hit for high average. The guy had excellent power to either field and one of the best slugging %ages in the history of baseball. More than a few, well informed, baseball historians have correctly pointed out that had it not been for the years he served in WWII and Korea this man would probably have broken most of the hitting records. As a kid, remember watching his last game on TV. Sure enough, he hit one outta the yard! He was ornery and contentious off the field. But, he will be remembered as an American hero who not only thrilled a generation of fans, but also unselfishly served his country at the expense of his career. Isopatch
