10 year anniversary of Ted Williams death
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 6:12 am
Ted Williams, one of the true legends of the game, died 10 years ago today. Strongly recommend that anyone who likes baseball pick up the Williams biography "Ted Williams, biography of an American Hero" by Leigh Montvale, an excellent read. Thought I would mark the occasion by posting Teddy Ballgame's career numbers. What makes these numbers even greater is the fact that he missed almost FIVE full seasons due to military service.
