Remembering a Legend
Ted Williams, regarded by many as baseball's greatest hitter, died today in xxxx. Williams probably produced more hits, more admiration and more mixed feelings from his own Boston fans than anyone who ever played. The Splendid Splinter dominated the 1940s, leading the league in runs batted in three times, batting and home runs four times each and runs six times
