I never heard anything negative about Ted's fielding skills before, so that is a bit of a revelation to me, and, of course, could contribute to holding down the value of his cards as well.

Ted was very self deprecating about his fielding but he wasn't all that bad.
He used to joke that Dom DiMaggio belonged in the HOF as the only player who played LF and CF every game.
