| Synopsis: |
As a 19-year-old heading east to play for the Boston Red Sox, Ted Williams could be heard muttering over and over again, "All I want out of life is when I walk down the street, folks will say, 'There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived.'" Through a tumultuous, boisterous career that touched four decades, Williams worked tirelessly to perfect the science of hitting and accomplish his goal. Two-time winner of the Triple Crown, Williams hit an astonishing.406 in his 1941 season, a record that stands to this day. During his last ballpark appearance at the 1999 All-Star game, 80-year-old "Teddy Ballgame" achieved his childhood dream. In "Ted Williams", discover how this Red Sox slugger was not only a superb ballplayer, but also a world-class fisherman and a fighter pilot in World War II and the Korean War. |
