Ted Williams

[Shoeless Moe]

I was looking at his 1941 season's numbers and it is just assinine that he didn't get MVP that season. You just look at those numbers and they pretty much would be MVP for any season in history. (and look at the Walks to K's ratio, unworldly)

If someone knows of a better regular season advise.


One other question does anyone know (reason for the post) why he only played a handful of games in 1952, 1953, & 1955. A few other non-full seasons. Was it an injury? Anyone know why? (oh wait, was that when he went to the Korean War, what an amazing life!)


His age 27 season in 1946 is pretty bad ass as well. He's out 3 whole years, comes back and wins MVP, first season back, like he never missed a beat! Right back from bombing Nazi's. or was he in the Pacific? I need to brush up, they should make a movie on that dude.


People say who is the greatest player of all time, and it's pretty much Ruth or Cobb.

But when they say who was the greatest hitter, Williams immediately comes to mind, and I'm think fairly unanimously.

If you have any Ted memorabilia please post.
