He wins the league's Triple Crown with a .366 average, 43 homers and 142 RBIs. - Williams has a spectacular rookie season.

Those wishing to join Williams in an icy afterlife can learn more from the source at alcor.org Ted Williams, aka "Teddy Ballgame," "The Splendid Splinter" and "The Kid," was number nine on Boston Red Sox in a two decade baseball career starting in 1939, with time out for two stints in the military. Williams spent three years as a Navy pilot during World War II, and two years as a Marine pilot in Korean conflict. On about half of the Korean missions, he was John Glenn's wingman. He was said to be the best baseball hitter in the world (last major leaguer to hit over .400), the best fighter pilot, and the best fly-caster. When Williams died his body disappeared from the Florida funeral homemysteriously to someand ended up in a cryonics facility in Scottsdale. His son, John Henry Williams, who had seen little of his father while growing up, had become close to his father in his last years. The younger Williams who was studying business at the University of Maine got the idea of selling a fifty-year commemorative T-shirt honoring his father's .406 batting average in 1941. Eventually John-Henry was managing his father's affairs. When his father suffered a stroke in 1994, he moved to Florida to care for him. John-Henry's dot com company, Hitter Inc., filed for bankruptcy in 2000, after suffering over three million in losses.

  • Ted Williams, Bud Selig and baseball's very bad week Ted Williams transcended the game; Bud Selig took the fun out of it. The clueless commish should have used position players to pitch in the All-Star Game. By Allen Barra Those of you too young to really remember Ted Williams and I can tell you that I am supposed to have seen his last at-bat, a home run, though I don't have a conscious memory of it were probably wondering what all the fuss was about. Let me put it to you in a nutshell: Ted Williams was the last surviving hero of white baseball. That is, he was the last of the great living legends from an era when big-league ball meant, exclusively, white guys. I know that's not entirely true; much the same could be said for Stan Musial and Bob Feller, but Feller never quite held the same spot in the hierarchy of sports as Williams and Musial, and if you skip the World War II years, Stan didn't really begin to matter until the late '40s.

By Mark Miller At 1999's All-Star Game at Fenway Park in Boston, Major League Baseball showcased its All-Century team. It was expected to be a sweet history lesson for baseball fans, a reminder of the names and stats of yesteryear. But it turned into an almost religious experience the second Ted Williams rolled onto the field in a golf cart. Today's baseball biggies Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken Jr., Mark McGwire gathered around Williams, basking in their hero's glow. Each wanted his own special moment with the last man ever to bat .400, and many, including Williams, were moved to tears. No one wanted to leave the field. "It was kind of funny," Boston shortstop Nomar Garciaparra told the Associated Press. "When the announcer asked everybody to go back to the dugout, everybody said no. It didn't matter. What time was the first pitch? Nobody cared."

    Elsewhere on the Web TedWilliams.com When 20-year old Ted Williams started his rookie year with the Boston Red Sox in 1939, he didn't exactly look like a home run hitter. Dubbed the "Splendid Splinter" because of his slight 6-foot-3 frame, the young Williams batted .327 with 31 homers and most impressively, a mind-boggling 145 RBIs that first season. He ended his 19-year career fittingly - with a home run in his final at bat in 1960 at age 42, retiring as what many considered "the "greatest hitter in baseball history."

    60. The Baseball Guru - TED WILLIAMS: THERE’LL NEVER BE ANOTHER By John B. Holway
    others were beginning to see the same ted williams I saw I was 31 when I saw ted shome run 520 sense of mortality as though one of baseball s greatest stories
    http://baseballguru.com/jholway/analysisjholway29.html
    John Holway History An Appreciation... By John B. Holway I first saw Ted Williams when I was 11 years old on September 9 1941. He was clinging to .400, and we wondered if he could hold it, or would he fail, as so many men before and since, had done at the end? He cocked his elbow, squeezed, brought the bat forward like a samurai practicing a sword stroke, held the pose a second, then cocked and squeezed again. Finally, a quick dimpling of the right knee, a stride, and a whoosh. The ball bounced straight toward our box seat as the first base coach danced safely aside, like a matador and a bull. When we compare Williams to all the great hitters, we are comparing them at their peaks to Ted before and after his peak. Ted was always doing things like that. He homered in his first game back after World War II, homered his last game before going off to Korea and his first game back from Korea, and, of course, his last at bat of all. Williams was ten years older than me, and we went off to Korea together, he to the Marines, I to the infantry.
