Teddy Ball game or Ted Williams. Known as the greatest hitter to ever play the game. But supposedly he was a jerk

A nice story here...
I live in Reading,PA. There was a guy by the name of Charlie Wagner, who lived here. (He died last year)He was a scout for the Red Sox. A real gentleman, a class act, a delight to be around. He was a pitcher for the red Sox, compiled a ho-hum record.
His room mate was Ted Williams.

Ted Williams. By the way, I knew that by heart. The guy that answered before me typed one letter in the box to reserve his spot to be the first answer to the question, and actually looked the answer up on the internet, which any of us can do. What a dork. Perhaps you should give him the best answer out of pity.
