Persuasive paper?

Question

Ok, I have to write a persuasive paper about why someone should be elected in the Hall Of Fame (or Shame). And we are making it a speech.

I am writing about Ted Williams. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Ted Williams was an excellent baseball player. I would recommend atleast 3 body paragraphs, each with a different reason.

1. He is one of the few players to have a .400 batting average in one season, which he did more than one time. He is the last player in Major League Baseball to bat over .400 in a single season (.406 in 1941). Williams holds the highest career batting average of anyone with 500 or more home runs. His career year was 1941, when he hit .406 with 37 HR, 120 RBI, and 135 runs scored. His .551 on base percentage set a record that stood for 61 years. He also set several other records along the way

2. One of Williams' other memorable accomplishments was his game-winning home run off Rip Sewell's notorious eephus pitch during the 1941 All-Star Game in Fenway Park. He challenged Sewell to throw the pitch. The first time he threw it, it was a strike. Williams challenged Sewell again and this time hit a home run.

3. Williams won two MVP Awards and two Triple Crowns (which is a huge deal) came in four different years. Williams, Lou Gehrig, and Chuck Klein are the only players since the establishment of the MVP award to win the Triple Crown and not be named league MVP in that season.Amazingly, Ted Williams won the Triple Crown not once, but twice - in 1942, and again in 1947 after missing three years to WWII

those are probably the 3 best moments of williams' career in my opinion. Make sure you have a strong introduction and conclusion in your paper

Answer 2

Ted Williams has been in the Hall of Fame since 1966.
