"Ted Williams was more than a legendary baseball player: he was an icon, whose aura of invincibility surrounded him wherever he went and evoked awe and wonderment in his fans. He is considered to be the greatest hitter of all time. His 1941 full season average has remained unchallenged for sixty-odd years. He achieved his records while missing over 800 games so that he could serve in this country's military, making his accomplishments all the more astonishing. Beyond these feats, though, lies the man himself--a simple, unsophisticated man whose pleasures were hitting baseballs and going fishing, but whose mental discipline and determination allowed him to face down the most dangerous pitchers. He deserves this thoughtful remembrance."@en
