Both athletes of the highest order. I follow hockey much more than baseball, but would like to add this. Ted Williams not only was a super athlete, he also put his life on the line in combat, WW2 and the Korean War. In my opinion, he is head and shoulders above Orr.

Disagree...Ted may have been a spoiled brat, and Boston has had many great sports figures...Russell....Cousy...Bird....Orr.....Yaz. You may think Orr was the greatest but Ted Williams is the greatest sports figure in the history of beantown. No contest.

i would say you are passionate hockey,and i do not believe you represent New England in general, for sure. Today's Boston Globe <<http://www.boston.com/globe/>> one mere tidbit <Across New England, a sense of loss, and fond memories By Brian MacQuarrie and Raphael Lewis, Globe Staff, Globe Correspondent, 7/6/2002 Baseball lost a legend yesterday, but the baseball capital of New England lost much more. From the Berkshires to Brighton, from New Hampshire to Fenway Park, the region's baseball fans mourned the death of Ted Williams, Boston's towering, talented, and occasionally tempestuous link to the sport's golden era. Although the Red Sox's greatest player endured a long, debilitating decline in health, the loss of what many baseball historians regard as the game's best pure hitter still seemed to jolt New Englanders.>> Also see where they highlight that Ted raised millions of dollars for the Jimmy Fund.
