Years ago , my Dad sat next to Ted on a cross country flight from Boston to Houston . My Dad was military , wearing his uniform , and said Ted struck up a conversation that lasted the entire flight , and couldn’t have been nicer . Ted even invited him to visit if down in Florida . Ted and my Dad kept up the acquaintance for several years , all based on their mutual military experiences . Ted Williams was the REAL John Wayne .

Ted was my favorite baseball player growing up & still to this day at 57yrs old. In the 90s I got to meet him at Bob Feller's museum in Van Meter, IA (where Bob was from) and he was just so kind and warm to me I didnt want to stop talking to him (as a young Black man I'm sure there were some looks of surprise by the older White peeps there, but I cldnt have cared less, I was having a never-thought-it-could-happen moment!). The only other athlete I wntd to meet was Ali. So I got 50% of my bucket list, not bad! Lol

How can anyone not like Ted Williams? Fabulous hitter and war hero. I'm sure his style of not facing Conan wasn't meant to insult him, rather to face the studio audience and broadcasting cameras. Still, I prefer the grace, dignity and humility of Hank Aaron or Stan Musial when they interacted with others. Ted had little room for anything other than the utmost loyalty and seemed ultra-sensitive when he was challenged. I wish he could have further reduced his intolerance as he aged, he was such a grand fellow; he might have let in even more affection from the many who loved him...

I forgot about Ted’s service in the Korean War in 1952-53. Taking into account his total years in military service (including WW2), Williams’ age factor, and also a slightly greater tendency to get injured before his Korean War service, one statistical calculation shows him being robbed of 171 more home runs during all those military years. But it is all mere speculation. Nobody knows for sure. All we know is that the game of Baseball is great to this day because of players like Ted Williams.

His body design , his concentration with eye on the ball , technique and more , allowed and made possible an absolute product of artful picture of design . A true work of art ! true gentleman ! A true human being ! A true American ! There will only be one Ted Williams , but it would be nice to see more people more like him ! Bless this man’s heart and Ted , you will never be forgotten !

Ted Williams was not only the greatest hitter in the game but he was the very first manager of the newly formed Texas Rangers in 1972. That was an exciting summer for all Baseball fans in the Dallas, Fort Worth metroplex and all of North Texas because Major League baseball had finally arrived. The Rangers weren't that good in 72 but it gave the fans an opportunity to go see the Yankees, Redsox, Orioles and the Dynasty of that Era, The Okland A's. Catfish Hunter and Reggie Jackson and of course Ted Williams. To be able to go to old Arlington Stadium and see these players and Teams and others as well as the Managers and not have to watch them on TV at home on a Summer Night was worth the price of admission. I bought my first Shotgun ( 12 g ) 1 year later right out of High school. it had Ted Williams name on it. I'm 69 now, I was a little dumb in my younger days and I sold that gun. I wish now I had kept it.

a god...the dude was a god, walking among us common folk. Im talking about the baseball player and baseball ambassador, after he retired. And you can tell, just from this sit-down, he was a rough-around-the-edges-dude, but he had a warm heart...and it was sincere. When you hear the late, great Buck O'Neil (negro league ambassador and former player and manager) say that Ted Williams was the greatest hitter of all time, you believe him, when you consider all the incredible players he saw playing in the 'black league' before the game was integrated. Pull up Ted's stats on baseball reference, and look at his career OPS...look at how few times he struck out a season, up against how many homers he hit. I think he had one season in his entire career, where his OBP, was below .400 (.357).

Read Dom DiMaggio"s book. Real Grass. Real Heroes, the Story of the 41 season. Dom was Ted's teammate on the Red Sox, he balanced the book with his critiques of the NY press that loved Joe but hated Ted.

There should be a movie about him. He was a bigger than life character. I remember watching him at Fenway. Never saw Ted ok an interview show, I thought the questions were silly and annoying. Takes nothing about sports or him being the last player to hit over 400!
