Ted Williams Hitting Rotational Hitting

This really gives rotational hitting the credit that it is due - Most of the kids that are being taught today are getting " Swing down- Squish the bug" - That does'nt happen. Ted was the first to treat hitting as a science to look at square contact!

Ted Williams was obsessed, absolutely obsessed, his whole life, with hitting baseballs. But he didn't have the best eyesight in the world. He had 20/10 eyesight, according to a Navy test in 1942.

These are 1969 quotes from Ted Willams in his autobiography:

"They used to write a lot of bull about my eyesight."

@trafficlightblind He was one of the greatest hitters of all time. He was the first to treat hitting as a science- he proved he was one of the best!!!

Teddy Freakin' Ballgame...he was everything John Wayne pretended to be on the screen. Big as life, a war hero in two different wars and a compiler of incredible baseball numbers despite losing all those prime years to the military.

''Sure, I think I had good eyesight, maybe exceptional eyesight, but not superhuman eyesight. A lot of people have 20/10 vision. The reason I saw things was that I was so intense . . . it was discipline, not super eyesight."

@soxpatsicecream7 20/25 is not bad. It's still pretty good. What people don't understand is 20/20 isn't considered an average, it's just a basis. They base eyesight of of one eyesight. 20/20 is actually good eyesight. Technically, if you have 20/20 eyesight, what it means is what you can see at 20 feet, someone with 20/20 eyesight can see with the same clarity at 20 feet aswell. 20/100 means, what you see at 20 feet, someone with 20/20 sees at 100 feet with the same clarity.

@trafficlightblind 20/10 vision is actually perfect vision. He saw what most people see clearly at 10 feet at 20 feet.
