Baseball Legend Ted Williams Dead at 83
T ed W illiam s, the Boston Red
Sox revered and som etim es re
viled “S plen d id S p lin ter” and
b aseb all’s last .400 hitter, died
F riday at age 83.
W illiams, who suffered a series

failure in recent years, was taken
Friday to Citrus County M emorial

The Hall o f Fameral ways wanted
to be know n as the greatest hitter
ever, and his stats backed up the
claim.
A two-time M VP who twice won
the Tripie Crown, W illiams hit .344
league at-bat in 1960.
W illiams' greatest achievement

individual stitches on a pitched ball
and could see the exact moment his
bat connected with it.
He also asserted he could smell
the burning wood o f his bat when
he fouled a ball straight back, just
missing solid contact.
W illiam s was a perfectionist
w ho w orked tirelessly at his craft
and had no tolerance for those
less dedicated. He was single-

w ho reduced the gam e to its sim
plest elem ents: batter vs. pitcher,
one trying to outsm art the other.
In those instances, he usually won.
