Although, I was an avid Yankees fan in my youth (1947-1958), I loved Ted Williams. He would hit some long and high HR's into the RF upper deck
of Yankee Stadium and I was just amazed.
A major difference in the batting styles of Joe and Ted was that Joe didn't WALK as much as Ted. Joe's career average was about 60 Walks/year.
While Ted's average was approx. 120 Walks/year. This difference is a key factor as to why Ted's career BA is approx. 20 points higher than Joe's
career .325 BA.
