Baseball Hall of Famer, Ted Williams was born poor and raised in San Diego, California, served as a Marine Corp combat pilot during World War II and the Korean War, and is recognized as the greatest hitter in Major League History. Ted Williams spent his entire playing career with the Boston Red Sox and in subsequent years managed the Washington Senators and Texas Rangers (former Washington Senators II). Washington Senators I became the Minnesota Twins. Ted Williams was the last batter to hit .400 having hit .406 in 1941. Ted Williams had a lifetime batting average of .345 with 521 home runs. Had he not spent all those years serving his nation, Ted Williams would have broke Babe Ruth's record for home runs, a tremendous feat considering as a left handed batter he played at Fenway Park built for right handed batters. Ted Williams played in one World Series (1946) whose Boston Red Sox lost in 7 games to the St Louis Cardinals. Several members of that Red Sox 1946 team are still alive today including Dave "Boo" Ferris, Dom Dimaggio, Johnny Pesky, and fellow Hall of Famer and close friend Bobby Doerr. Williams spend much of his free time fishing especially in Maine and Florida. Not much for the spotlight, Williams, however, did devote much time and energy on behalf of disadvantaged children. He contributed much to the "Jimmy Fund" the cancer foundation for children in Boston. Williams was one of a kind and there never will be another Ted Williams. The late great Hall of Fame announcer Curt Gowdy's call in September 1960 of Ted Williams' home run in his last at bat is a baseball classic. Today, baseball and society in general is at a loss without the likes of Ted Williams.
