Hey Jimmy,
I read a FANTASTIC book on Teddy Ballgame called "Ted Williams-the Ted we Hardly Knew" by John Underwood 2005.
If you're not familiar with John Underwood, he was a writer for Sports Illustrated for many years and he also co-wrote "The Art of Hitting" with Ted Williams. They became close friends through the association at SI and Underwood became a fishing and hunting buddy of Williams. The book gives you a tremendous look at who Williams really was. The best part of the book is that it comes with a CD with audio interviews with Ted in the duck blind. To say that Williams took swearing to new frontiers as an artform is an understatement. Really a good read, and definately a must in order to get a feel for who Williams actually was IMHO. This was my favorite Christmas gift a few years back. It definately was better than some ungodly plaid shirt that I will never wear...
Nab it!
