Ted Williams An All-Star Great

Ted Williams An All-Star Great was recently brought back into Baby Boomer and Red Sox fans memories, with an HBO special. It showed you Ted Williams as baseball’s…greatest hitter.

HBO also showed Williams as a complex man whose skills at the plate couldn’t compensate for his troubled relationships with his parents, wives, children, the media and some times even baseball fans.

Ted Williams An All-Star Great, but unfortunately, the last time I saw Ted William’s name in the news, it was when his children were fighting over his cremation or him being cryogenically frozen. His son, John Henry Williams, fought to have his father placed in biostasis after producing a handwritten piece of paper signed by Williams to that effect.

One thing for sure, Ted Williams was truly a great athlete and there were no steroids in his bloodstream. He played 21 seasons with the Boston Red Sox and was their left fielder.

No one has come close to William’s records except for Baseball’s great Joe DiMaggio. Williams’ rival with the Yankees. He won nine championships. That was one area in which DiMaggio out shined Williams.

I could go on and on about  Ted Williams An All-Star Great, but what I suggest to you, is to try and catch a rerun of the HBO special on Ted Williams or click on over to Ted Smith on NYDailyNews.com. He wrote an outstanding article on Ted Williams and one that I agree with.
