I am a BoSox fan. I belive IMO that Ted was the best HITTER of all time. I also think that Roger Maris is the single season HR Champ. Gehrig would be my 1st baseman on my best ever team as well.
when ted was managing the texas rangers he was constantly being good-naturedly ragged about how he wasn't really that good and how he couldn't handle modern baseball. he was about 50 lbs overweight and had not swung a bat in quite a while when one day during batting practice at arlington stadium he had heard enough and grabbed a bat. he proceeded to rip liners off the wall and over it while being close to 60 yrs old. one old sportswriter there said "my god,he may still be the best hitter alive."
Most of you are retarded, it's true. I'm a Yankees fan but to deny how good Ted Williams was makes absolutely no sense. It's the same when Red Sox fans don't respect someone like Gehrig...But for RedSox fans to still play the underdog, the Yankees are over paid card is absurd, both teams have huge markets therefore insane amounts of money with which to buy the best players...if by some fluke Mauer hits the market you know it's going to be a bidding war between the Sox and Yanks
And to say the Yankees have no soul is also retarded, you had the neglected, troubled little boy with a heart of gold who went on to be the most revered person to ever play the game, the man who was struck down in his prime and while fully aware he was dying declared he was the luckiest man in the world, and a tormented alcoholic who in his later years when he reflected on his life bore his soul on National TV and basically begged for redemption
@redsox8108 You fuck off. Your team has always sucked dick. You had/have some really good people like Manny, Pedro, and Big Papi (kind of). Then you had one great player in the history of your franchise: Teddy Ballgame. The Yankees have at least two great players RIGHT NOW: Jeter and Rivera. Then we have so many more that can be named like Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Clemens, etc. The Yankees have always had far superior players.
Everyone knows that the Red Sox suck dick. But, I do have a lot of respect for Ted Williams. Btw, go Yankees. Next season, we are going to win ANOTHER world series title. If any other team wins double digit titles, then you can say your team is good. Until then, the Yankees playing ANYONE is like a group of men playing mere boys. Also, Jeter is legend.
@CDowdy1337 people who like the yankees are like obnoxious 6 year-olds. They are like a synthetic title machine. They're like the patriots: No soul, just win.
Spoken like a true Red Sox fan. It must be soul crushing to support such a shit team and have them let you down season after season. The Yankees will dominate this century as well and once again you guys will play second fiddle and be irrelevant.
And let's see who your going to rely on after jeter, a-roid, and whorehay leave... ROBINSON CANO? Ha ha. Oh wait, that's right the yankees have infinite money so they can just buy there way out of a losing streak. They're the douchebags of Baseball
I don't care how much drugs or what kind of drugs A-Rod uses. Like Al Davis says, "Just win baby!" Use him up and spit him out. a few championships is all i need out of him and that s what he will give me. Then yes, we will buy more players. I can't stand the money arguement. There is no salary cap, so the Yankees are playing by the rules. Just except it and move on. I mean you guys payed $51 million just to talk to this japanese guy who you thought was going to be sick and he failed you.
Whenever it's October and I'm watching the playoffs and the world series, and all the sudden I see YANKEES WIN, I just think goddamn... this is getting old.
Yes there is no doubt they are a well put together team, but it seems like they just don't have any soul what so ever.
If you really think about it, there really isn't a better way to go out in all of sports. 41 years old, smacks a 400+ foot home run then retires. Wow.
it sux that he wasnt in a team like the yankees. he would be such a loved player there. and they won a lot of world series. boston hasnt won 1 until 2004.
i love that player and respect the guy. what my comment is saying is somthing related to johnnymac496's comment. he is a very loved player but it sux that he had to play to a crappy team. good thing that he never tipped his hat to them
@BlueGiraffeWhale well im not saying its easy. im saying that if boston had more great players like ted williams, they would have won as many as the yankees
Mays piled up the numbers offensively, but Al was always primo-clutch at the plate & despite fine numbers in the "second dead ball era", was constantly hobbled by injuries post 1963.
As an outfielder, Kaline had no peer in his prime. He could run the ball down with anyone and unlike Mays, was an absolute intimidator with his arm. He won 10 Gold Gloves & an all-star 15X. Casey Stengel, Charlie Dressen, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Brooks Robinson & Mays too were fullsome in their praise of Mr.Kaline.
dimmagio isn't even close to ted williams. batter average, career, fishing, business, slugging percentage, homeruns, pilot, you name it. Ted was a sob off the field. But on the field he was the greatest hitter ever baseball has ever seen. (without steriods of course). Please, if Joe D didn't play in pin stripes ted would have had about 3 more mvps. Can you name another hitter who his kills in WW2 and the korean war? i doubt it.
What are you stupid? How many Rings did Ted win? Hmmm? Let me see? Uh....oh yeah: ZERO! Give me a break. Even Williams said Joe was a more complete player than he was. Joe D has more rings than the whole Red Sux organization. Give me a break hater! Give me a call when you're up to 26 World Championships.
rings is a team thing, not individual. Can't falt williams for being a redsox. Your argument about rings makes no sense! Not only that. Name two more hall of famers on the redsox (with the stats to prove it). during teds time. i can name a bunch on the yankees. that roster was packed. Joe D got more looks than ted ever got and he still was the best hitter. 325 BA? 363 hr? and you call that the best hitter? no sir.
Rings are what ball players play for. Individual stats are selfish...genius. You want numbers? Okay: 9 Championships to NONE! There's your numbers! Teddy had his chance in a WS but he choked: PERIOD!
Ooooh! Then we're in agreement. Nope...then you're right: Teddy was a better HITTER but Joe was better all around. Okay..my bad. Teddy was amazing. Greatest hitter of all time? Very very true.
nothing. he's in liquid nitrogen. it only needs to be filled up every week. electricity is only used to power a thermometer used to check liquid temperature.
it depends on what you consider freaky, really. personally i'd say it'd be freakier to know you'll definitely lose the data contained in your brain (see cremation and burial) with no chance of getting them back in the future. even if this won't work, it is at least a ticket. a lottery ticket.
Like a feather caught in a vortex, Williams ran around the square of bases at the center of our beseeching screaming, he ran as he always ran out home runs hurriedly, unsmiling, head down, as if our praise were a storm of rain to get out of. He didnt tip his cap.
Though we thumped, wept, and chanted We want Ted for minutes after he hid in the dugout, he did not come back. Our noise for some seconds passed beyond excitement into a kind of immense open anguish, a wailing, a cry to be saved. But immortality is nontransferable. The papers said that the other players, and even the umpires on the field, begged him to come out and acknowledge us in some way, but he never had and did not now. Gods do not answer letters.
The world series is won by a team, not an individual player. dimaggio's nine rings is more a testament to his supporting cast.
yes, dimaggio went through a very impressive hot streak, BUT, despite hitting in 56 straight games, he still lost the batting title... by .49 points! so which is more impressive, his 2 months of glory, or williams's consistency and 6 months of excellence? it's not a difficult question albeit for someone as stunningly dimwitted as yourself
why dont you swallow a foot long cock you idiot. really, who gives 2 shits. Joe D was great, Ted was great. Whether or not a 400 avg is or is not better than a hitting streak is irrelevant.
and what makes you so certain that the streak will stay forever?
twice in the last 3 years a player has reached 35 games
but for a player to come within .30 points of williams's mark has only happened twice in the last 15 years.
furthermore, dimaggio had a .978 career fielding percentage in center field and for his career, while williams had a .980 fielding percentage in left, and .974 for his career.
yeah, clearly dimaggio was way better... please check your facts before you embarrass yourself.
Ted Williams had a batting average of .750 on the pitch right down the middle in his career. I'd say the second greatest hitter in MLB history... First is Lou Garig
he never tipped his cap because early in his career he would tip a cap when they would cheer for a homerun but in his second year in the bigs he only hit 23 homeruns and wasnt doing so well and the fans were booing him wich caused him to grow hatred towards the fans and that is why he never tipped his cap again until 1999 at the all star wich was a great moment in red sox history another great moment was when buckner came back in 08 both oments brought water to my eyes
The Splendid Splinter, or Terrible Ted, was my boyhood hero. Greatest hitter of all time, and a war hero to boot. He is gone, but will never be forgotten.
Amazing. He probably should have won MVP nearly every year he played but for some reason Joe diMaggio won it several times because he was able to hit a single for 56 games in a row.
Poor relations with the press costed him back then, but today everyone knows he was one of, if not the best, al around hitters ever.
I disagree strongly, I think it's a travesty he didn't tip his cap. Imagine your favorite player never acknowledging your existence. Babe Ruth is most beloved because of his attachment to the fans and other players that no other player in any sport has been able to duplicate. I think this is a terrible shame.
Though we thumped, wept, and chanted "We want Ted" for minutes after he hid in the dugout, he did not come back. Our noise for some seconds passed beyond excitement into a kind of immense open anguish, a wailing, a cry to be saved. But immortality is nontransferable. The papers said that the other players, and even the umpires on the field, begged him to come out and acknowledge us in some way, but he never had and did not now. Gods do not answer letters. - John Updike
Joe Garagiola stated in the 2004 World Series film that he remembers Ted hit some shots that should've been hits. But the Cardinal defenders deserve a lot of credit for taming him.
Ted's career stats could've been even better had he not missed 5 PRIME seasons serving his country. The last man to hit .400 in a season the record holder for consecutive at-bats with getting on base (either 16 or 19). He's the Ric Flair of baseball.
Wasn't Williams hurting in that series. The Cardninals had to play the Dodgers in a best of three tie-breaker for the pennant (and beat them two straight). I think Williams got hit in the elbow in a meaningless scrimmage game the Sox staged against All-star caliber players. I know he was in enough pain that he laid down a bunt single while the Cardinals had the shift on against him.
they mean waving his cap to the fans, he did that once as a rookie and was booed, so he never did it again as a player, its just a showing of appreciation to the fans during a great moment
"Feuding with the press" ... yes. Especially a vermin named Harold Kaese. But with the fans?? Perhaps on very rare occasions, maybe, but I can tell you from personal experience that most Red Sox fans adored him, especially during his last 11 years, after he had matured some. He personally made sure that the Jimmy Fund, a cancer research program for little kids with cancer, was a huge success. He was bigger than life. A real shame that he did not survive to the Red Sox 2004 championship.
Ted Williams was somewhat of dink. However, he is the model that I follow while hitting. He is probably the best hitter of all time. He missed four yrs. in the mid of his career as a soldier in WW2. If he had played in those yrs. he would have beaten Ruth for home runs. Ruth was still the greatest homerun hitter though.
I agree with everything you said except it was almost five years missed and he would probably have been short of Ruth's record. He would have needed 193 home runs in those five years, almost forty a year, and he hit forty or more homers only once.
For five years he would have had to average almost his career best. I think any honest assessment says he comes up short. Also, he was a little past his prime during the Korean War.
He didn't miss as much time in Korea as he did in WWII. The WWII years he was 24-26. Just the fact that he's in the 500 club (best career average among 500 club member as well) despite missing those seasons is very impressive. I'll give Ruth the nod as being the greatest ever, but it really could go either way.
.388 in 1957. Until his injury plagued 1959 season, his lowest average was .328 and that was the only time he hit below .345! At age 42 he hit .328 with 29HRs. 1950 saw him break his elbow during the All Star game. 1951 was a recovery year. He was tearing the cover off the ball in 1952 just before he went back into he service. 1949: 43 HRS 159 RBIs .343 BA 162 walks[!!!]
Williams was a great hitter, but I think my point about him not catching Ruth still stands up. Furthermore, don't forget Ruth "lost" over four years as a slugger while he was busy winning 90+ games as a pitcher.
True, and I think it's a valid debate. You have give Williams credit for the War Years and also Ruth for his pitching years. Williams got screwed out of multiple MVPs to DiMaggio because neither Boston writer would ever vote for him. It's hard to conceive . . .
It's unbelievable that Williams won the triple crown in two seasons ('42 and '47) and was not be voted MVP. And in '41, he was four RBIs shy of the triple crown and did not win the MVP. DiMag had the hitting streak, but Williams had more hits over that 56-game period (and obviously a much higher average). I can only imagine if Williams played for the Yanks and had the short porch in RF.
He actually hit two "last at bat" home runs. The first one was hit. Hold it. Does anyone know the answer to this? (I am reading today 7.13.08 his book called "Hitter").
You do notice that the wall says 420...do you think that Fenway is 420 down the line? Left of the line is off the wall or the "monster" and to the right of that line is a HR. That line has nothing to do with fair or foul.
Listen all of you sox fans in here Truthfully is Jeter a good player Truthfully not as a Sox fan as a Baseball fan is Jeter a good player, and I know your all going to say no because I'm a yanks fan and your all sox fans, but truthfully is Jeter good? If you say no I know that you can't admit anything though if you search you could find me saying that Ortiz is good, he's amazing though you guys still think that jeters bad just tell me is Jeter good or not AS A BASEBALL FAN
He's a good OFFENSIVE player. He's everything you could ask for in a middle infielder when it comes to hitting. But defensively, his height saves his ass. His range and zone are pathetic as he ranks towards the bottom annually. If he were 5'8 like most other MLB shortstops, it would be even more obvious even to you dipshit, in denial Yankee fans.
He can actually be considered better than Ruth or Gehrig. Better than Gehrig for more production and a higher batting average despite missing five seasons during his prime.
Better than Ruth for having faced black pitchers.
oh i almost forgot to mention the unprecedented and titanic collapse and folding of the yanks in 04 leading 3-0 and who was that against i cant quite remember, oh yeah thats right the greatest franchise in baseball with the greatest fanbase. So fuck you and ur boring yanks and bow down before the annointed nation u cantankerous ass.
Listen to me, I know how hard that is to you, but listen. I DON'T CARE. So the Yanks choked, I don't care they can back themselves up. Oh and you want to talk about leading, how about when the sox led 5-2 in the 2003 ALCS, the Yanks was a little worse, but your talking all of that up, and it happened once. I admitted that the Sox are a good team, and all that you could talk about is that the yankees failed once! I think that the yanks are better because I'm a yanks fan your a sox fan I'm alright
Actually they've failed 13 times in the WS and the owners are bringing them down to the ground. Chamberlain should be a setting up and being groomed to be Rivera's successor. The farm system is so far behind Boston that they'll never catch up. The lineup is old and overrated and the rest of the pitching staff is mediocre at best.
the only reason he isnt up there more in homers and hits is because he had to leave the leage 2 times to go to war, surviving each time, and even comming back hard ass at the same time, what a guy...
ted williams is better than any dime a dozen shit that came outta new york just look at the numbers and imagine how he would have been even better without WW2 and Korea
You have to be kidding me, look at what the yanks have, Joe Dimmagio (Beat out Dimmagio) Ruth (Best player ever) Mickey Mantle (NOBODY bet his longest home run) Alex Rodriguez (Also a great player) What does Boston have, yea williams name one more person. Yankees 26 WS titles boston 7 Yankees 5 WS in a row Boston what 1 or 2? Yankees have the better players and you know it.
how about jimmie foxx or tris speaker or yastrzemski or fred lynn one of the only rookie of the years and mvps in the same year oh and i forgot to mention Arod got nearly all of his success in Texas and Seattle because goin 23 for 94 in the playoffs with your yanks is great way to go mr april/ms october arod
listen I'm just syain that I am the only one who has the guts to say that the Red Sox are fantastic, though Boston fans can barely even say the the Yankees are good, and they know that they are. And you know that Arod is fantastic. Arod has over 500 HR's and Manny Ramirez has what? 499. I'm not saying that because David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, ect are bad because they are on the red sox, like you think that Derek Jeters bad because he's on the Yankees, I'm just syaing that I'm a Yankee fan.
Arod is a fucking joke he puts up these astronomical numbers in the regular season that are incomparable. however when the playoffs come around and when things actually matter where does he go? He cowers behind Jeter(whose overrated by all u new york fair-weather fans) and strikes out in every at bat. HE SUCKS. its understandable, ur just pissed and embittered because ur shitty washed up overpaid yanks are mired in an 8 year drought. Big fucking deal try waiting ur whole life you big bitch.
Jeter is very overrated as a shortstop. He didn't deserve any of the Gold Gloves he won.
2004-Omar Vizquel
2005-Orlando Cabrera
2006-Michael Young
And Jeter's not the only obvious undeserving player to win the GG, Benito Santiago won a GG the same year he led NL catchers in errors and passed balls.
Oh and I didn't say that Williams wasn't a good hitter he was one of the best, being a Yankee fan and not blue collar like you boston fans, I actually admit the boston players are great, I don't go crazy on sox fans if they are ahaead or behing I just say okay the yankees are behind boston, boston earned it. If the yankees are in front YEAAAAAA! because I'm a yanks fan, you on the other hand think that because the yankees are better (In my opinion) (And in the stats opinion)
And I'm not including you in this category because you don't seem to fall in it, but Yankee fans are NOT the best in baseball. I don't know if Fenway would sell out with a larger capacity either. The best fans are in St. Louis, where they've sold out for over 40 years. There was one Yankee game some 20-30 years ago where the stadium was empty. Steinbrenner fired the announcer for pointing that out.
I never said that Yankee fans are the best in baseball your making things up, Boston is a good team, I admit that, and even though you know that that Yankees are a good team you won't admit it. I will admit that other teams are very good, you won't you know that the Yanks are good and I know that the Sox are good, thats my whole point.
The Yankees are a mediocre team. The lineup is old and the pitching sucks. Kennedy was very overrated. The Sox are much further ahead in player development. Being from Nebraska, pray to God Chamberlain doesn't ever start, because he's a ticking time bomb if he does. I'll admit that the Yankees have some talented offensive players, but there's no Joe Torre to dig you out of the hole this season.
u suck and guess whose in first the sox not ur thong wearing, steroid using, cheating, washed up rich ass yankees. hope you savored those championships because guess what u wont being seeing one for another 80 years asshole
The sox arn't in first anymore. Oh and even if the yankees don't win the series for another 80 years, the yankees are going to beat out the sox in the playoffs for 80 years which will happen, but the yanks will win it it's just that boston will fall just short.
u have no reason to think the yankees will return to the playoffs. yeah it seems real likely youll get to the promised land with joba fucking chamberlain as ur ace or maybe pettitte the steroid pumping has been shitbag what a fucking joke. u r just bitter and will continue to be bitter because the yankees havent won since 2000 and have no significant young talent to do it again.
your the only one yelling here, that's why your not getting my point, look at Joba Chamberlian, he's good, but I'm the only one here who has the balls to admit that Red Sox players are good players. So if you want to say that the Sox are better, I don't care, your opinion, I think that the yanks are better and your not getting that, just say okay thats his opinion, I don't agree with him, but okay.
Chamberlain will be a ticking time bomb as a starter. Believe me, I'm from Nebraska and remember quite well the injuries Chamberlain suffered his senior season. The Yankmes were better off keeping him where he was and grooming him to succeed Rivera. I'll acknowledge that the Yankees have some good players. But they're not as good as the Red Sox and Rays. And there's no Joe Torre to dig you guys out of the hole this year.
Now you hold it right there, what the hell are you talking about! Not better than the Yanks? I agree that the Sox are Better this year because they Won the series and you guys want to hold the whole choke thing on us because you Sox Fans apparently think that the yanks did that 87 times, but thats besides the point. The Yanks were better than the for enough time for the yanks to fit in 26 World Titles. Another thing that I don't get is that you Sox fans make fun of us because we didn't we didn't
win the series since 2000. When you guys hadn't won the series in 86 years I think it was Do you thing that We formed A Yankee Nation to make fun of you! NO! We just wanted to watch our team win. Some of us did but all of us did not, thats what I hate about sox fans, If there losing to the yankees. Oh Joba Cheats he's on steroids (not refering to Clemens) He's the worst player, but if Joba or any other person were on the sox Joba for example, you would be saying He's the greatest I've ever seen
strange to see empty seats in fenway, won't see that nowadays

Greatest outfielder Kaline? The numbers don't come close. Players of that era will always say Mays
ruedydude 2 years ago
Mays piled up the numbers offensively, but Al was always primo-clutch at the plate & despite fine numbers in the "second dead ball era", was constantly hobbled by injuries post 1963.
As an outfielder, Kaline had no peer in his prime. He could run the ball down with anyone and unlike Mays, was an absolute intimidator with his arm. He won 10 Gold Gloves & an all-star 15X. Casey Stengel, Charlie Dressen, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Brooks Robinson & Mays too were fullsome in their praise of Mr.Kaline.

Destry..."Unlike" Mays? Mays had a great
arm...I've seen him play in person. Kaline
played rightfield where you have to have
a gun and was very smooth, but not in
the same category as Mays. He was the
epitomy of a great five tool player.

dimmagio isn't even close to ted williams. batter average, career, fishing, business, slugging percentage, homeruns, pilot, you name it. Ted was a sob off the field. But on the field he was the greatest hitter ever baseball has ever seen. (without steriods of course). Please, if Joe D didn't play in pin stripes ted would have had about 3 more mvps. Can you name another hitter who his kills in WW2 and the korean war? i doubt it.

What are you stupid? How many Rings did Ted win? Hmmm? Let me see? Uh....oh yeah: ZERO! Give me a break. Even Williams said Joe was a more complete player than he was. Joe D has more rings than the whole Red Sux organization. Give me a break hater! Give me a call when you're up to 26 World Championships.

rings is a team thing, not individual. Can't falt williams for being a redsox. Your argument about rings makes no sense! Not only that. Name two more hall of famers on the redsox (with the stats to prove it). during teds time. i can name a bunch on the yankees. that roster was packed. Joe D got more looks than ted ever got and he still was the best hitter. 325 BA? 363 hr? and you call that the best hitter? no sir.

The world series is won by a team, not an individual player. dimaggio's nine rings is more a testament to his supporting cast.
yes, dimaggio went through a very impressive hot streak, BUT, despite hitting in 56 straight games, he still lost the batting title... by .49 points! so which is more impressive, his 2 months of glory, or williams's consistency and 6 months of excellence? it's not a difficult question albeit for someone as stunningly dimwitted as yourself

furthermore, dimaggio had a .978 career fielding percentage in center field and for his career, while williams had a .980 fielding percentage in left, and .974 for his career.

He wasn't a perfect player, his lone
World Series appearance was a bit
of a dud in 46', he stole a total of 24
career bases, not exactly Lou Brock
or Rickey Henderson, and defensively
as an outfielder, he's considered average
to maybe slightly above, all that aside,
he might be the best pure hitter of all
time, George Brett's contact meets
Hank Aaron's power.
17865329 3 years ago 2
Joe Garagiola stated in the 2004 World Series film that he remembers Ted hit some shots that should've been hits. But the Cardinal defenders deserve a lot of credit for taming him.
Ted's career stats could've been even better had he not missed 5 PRIME seasons serving his country. The last man to hit .400 in a season the record holder for consecutive at-bats with getting on base (either 16 or 19). He's the Ric Flair of baseball.
jlfahrer 3 years ago
Wasn't Williams hurting in that series. The Cardninals had to play the Dodgers in a best of three tie-breaker for the pennant (and beat them two straight). I think Williams got hit in the elbow in a meaningless scrimmage game the Sox staged against All-star caliber players. I know he was in enough pain that he laid down a bunt single while the Cardinals had the shift on against him.

"Feuding with the press" ... yes. Especially a vermin named Harold Kaese. But with the fans?? Perhaps on very rare occasions, maybe, but I can tell you from personal experience that most Red Sox fans adored him, especially during his last 11 years, after he had matured some. He personally made sure that the Jimmy Fund, a cancer research program for little kids with cancer, was a huge success. He was bigger than life. A real shame that he did not survive to the Red Sox 2004 championship.

Ted Williams was somewhat of dink. However, he is the model that I follow while hitting. He is probably the best hitter of all time. He missed four yrs. in the mid of his career as a soldier in WW2. If he had played in those yrs. he would have beaten Ruth for home runs. Ruth was still the greatest homerun hitter though.
jackmehoffer68 3 years ago
I agree with everything you said except it was almost five years missed and he would probably have been short of Ruth's record. He would have needed 193 home runs in those five years, almost forty a year, and he hit forty or more homers only once.
kolst8406 3 years ago
Those seasons he missed were prime years though.
jlfahrer 3 years ago
For five years he would have had to average almost his career best. I think any honest assessment says he comes up short. Also, he was a little past his prime during the Korean War.
kolst8406 3 years ago
He didn't miss as much time in Korea as he did in WWII. The WWII years he was 24-26. Just the fact that he's in the 500 club (best career average among 500 club member as well) despite missing those seasons is very impressive. I'll give Ruth the nod as being the greatest ever, but it really could go either way.
jlfahrer 3 years ago
.388 in 1957. Until his injury plagued 1959 season, his lowest average was .328 and that was the only time he hit below .345! At age 42 he hit .328 with 29HRs. 1950 saw him break his elbow during the All Star game. 1951 was a recovery year. He was tearing the cover off the ball in 1952 just before he went back into he service. 1949: 43 HRS 159 RBIs .343 BA 162 walks[!!!]

Williams was a great hitter, but I think my point about him not catching Ruth still stands up. Furthermore, don't forget Ruth "lost" over four years as a slugger while he was busy winning 90+ games as a pitcher.
kolst8406 3 years ago 2
True, and I think it's a valid debate. You have give Williams credit for the War Years and also Ruth for his pitching years. Williams got screwed out of multiple MVPs to DiMaggio because neither Boston writer would ever vote for him. It's hard to conceive . . .
RexroatxSemo 3 years ago
It's unbelievable that Williams won the triple crown in two seasons ('42 and '47) and was not be voted MVP. And in '41, he was four RBIs shy of the triple crown and did not win the MVP. DiMag had the hitting streak, but Williams had more hits over that 56-game period (and obviously a much higher average). I can only imagine if Williams played for the Yanks and had the short porch in RF.
