Main July 06, 2002 Ted Williams: Go away for a couple of days and big things happen. The saddest, of course, is the death of Ted Williams. It's interesting to see how the perception of people change over time. Joe DiMaggio was considered the greatest living player from the late 60's on, even though there was ample evidence that he wasn't. DiMaggio did a very good job of managing his public image. He was a beloved player, and stayed beloved through the rest of his life. Williams, on the other hand, had a poor relationship with the fans and the press during his career, and was not well liked at all. Yet, the people I've come across who have met DiMaggio have nothing good to say about him, and the people who have met Williams have nothing but good to say about him. We'll miss you, Ted. As to who is the greatest living players, I have to go with Mays. He has one fewer win share than Aaron, and Mays missed time in the military. I give it to Mays on defense.

Baseball Darwinism Charles Darwin's theory that the strongest species will find a way to outlast the weaker ones can easily be applied to Major League Baseball as well. Especially this time of year. The strongest teams go on a winning streak, the best players get hot , and issues like injuries and playing time work themselves out for the good teams and bury the bad ones. The strong are outlasting the weak. At the same time, intangible elements about the baseball season begin to take their toll. Pitchers who have spent the whole season giving up gopher balls in hitter-friendly parks wear down and either get hurt or burn out mentally; batters get weary of trying to pump home runs out of SBC Park or Petco Park and go into slumps. Yes, even the ballparks themselves play a role in determining which teams are the fittest to survive.

Ted Williams A Baseball Life By Michael Seidel With a new foreword by the author “A hitter's perfection consists in failing only 60 percent of the time. Williams did that in 1941, batting .406. . . . Michael Seidel's rounded biography . . . suggests, delicately, why, in spite of his virtuosity at the plate, he does not belong on any all-time all-star team. Overflowing with childlike ebullience, Williams would exclaim in the batting cage, 'I can't stand it, I'm so good.' He was—at bat. But as baseball people never tire of saying, and Williams quickly tired of hearing, the greatest players do five things well—run, throw, field, hit, and hit with power. . . . Still, as a pure hitter Williams was in a class by himself.”— New York Times Book Review . “Williams, perhaps baseball's greatest hitter, was a controversial figure during his playing years. . . . [Seidel] researched contemporary records and interviewed Williams's acquaintances for this book. Many of Williams's cohorts had few positive things to say about the legendary ballplayer. However, Seidel manages to keep his account balanced, painting a larger picture of the nature of baseball in the 1940s and 1950s. . . . Seidel's work should stand the test of time as an accurate, evenhanded portrait.”—

quick advanced Scroll down for the article 2002 MLB All-Star Game 2002 MLB All-Star Game What's with the 2002 Major League All-Star Game ending in a tie? That's lamer than being struck out by a girl or eating only one plate of food at an all-you-can-eat buffet. In case you missed it, the 2002 MLB All-Star Game which was played at Milwaukee's Miller Park ended in a 7-7 tie after 11 innings because both teams said their pitchers were too tired to keep on playing. How can they be too tired? These guys are all-stars and are paid millions of dollars because they can keep going and don't have to pack it in when they get tired. It's bad enough that these overpaid slobs are juicing up to hit more homeruns and are thinking of going on strike, now they can't even finish a baseball game if it goes into extra innings. They should've at least tried to settle the game with a homerun contest or a bench-clearing brawl. Fans like the All-Star game because they get to see all their fave players compete against each other in one night. They want to see the game end with Barry Bonds hitting a game-winning homerun or Mariano Rivera striking someone out.

Now that the moment has come for me I find it difficult to say what is really in my heart. But I know it is the greatest thrill of my life. I received two hundred and eighty-odd votes from the writers. I know I didn't have two hundred and eighty-odd friends among the writers. I know they voted for me because they felt in their minds and in their hearts that I rated it, and I want to say to them: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Today I am thinking about a lot of things. I am thinking about my playground director in San Diego, Rodney Luscomb, my high school coach, Wos Caldwell, and my managers, who had so much patience with mefellows like Frank Shellenback, Donie Bush, Joe Cronin, and Joe McCarthy. I am thinking of Eddie Collins, who had so much faith in meand to be in the Hall with him particularly, as well as those other great players, is a great honor. I'm sorry Eddie isn't here today. I'm thinking of Tom Yawkey. I have always said it: Tom Yawkey is the greatest owner in baseball. I was lucky to have played on the club he owned, and I'm grateful to him for being here today.

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.

Seidel has not quite limited his biography to the parameters Williams would want, but he does not venture far out of the limits Ted has attempted to impose. This narrow approach to biography leaves lots of room for further exploration both of Williams's life outside the batter's box and of the Williams iconography. Seidel's goal was to "reconstruct the events and sequences of Williams' baseball life" (p. xii). He succeeds in providing us with a carefully chronicled, year-by-year account of Williams's playing career. Included within Seidel's definition of "baseball life" are Williams's tumultuous relationships with the press. Not included, however, is much about his life beyond the ballpark. Thus, the book gives us the most thorough and balanced account of "Teddy Ballgame" but, oddly, tells us more about Ted's relationship with Boston writer... Search Journals About MUSE Contact Us

A book (I believe it was 'Summer of '49') captured both the best and worst of Ted Williams at the same moment. It said a heckler was bothering him, and he responded by hitting the fan with a foul ball. It showed his rough relationship with the fans, and that he was psychologically capable of doing such at thing. At the same time, it displayed that he was physically capable of such a feat! JD, USA

Ted Williams Baseball's Greatest Hitter By Ann Burch SeniorWorld Online Correspondent "..All I want out of life is that, when I walk down the street, folks will say, "There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived." Ted Williams was born in San Diego, Calif., on Aug. 30, 1918, and became a legend in his own time. Batting left-handed and throwing right-handed, Williams, to his fans, is "Mr. Baseball." Known by numerous nicknames, those who admire the man and his sport, consider him to be what the game is all about. Appropriately, he began his baseball career in his hometown, signed on at 17 by the San Diego Padres, and playing in the Pacific Coast League. He then moved onto the American Association at Minneapolis. A cocky manner and disinterest in playing the outfield in spring training, 1938, led to his being farmed out to the minors. Frustrated, Williams is said to have retorted "Tell them I'm going to make more money in this game than all three of them put together." He was right on target. He arrived in the majors for good in 1939, breaking in with a double against the Yankees. He ended that season batting .327 average, with 31 homers, and a league-leading145 RBI, the first rookie RBI leader.
