Ted Williams explains who is the number 1 baseball player he ever saw

Just so you all know, I have another YouTube page called Michael Jordan fans are the worst sports fans of all time. Please subscribe to the page. This is the link to the page - youtube.com/@michaeljordanfansaretheworst

Ted could have sat out the final 2 games of the 1941 season and preserved his 400 average. Not Ted. He played both, went 6 for 8 and ended the season at .406. That tells you what you need to know about Mr. Williams

Not only was Williams a great hitter, he was a great jet fighter pilot, and a world class fly fisherman.

Ted was known to be prickly at times but I really liked him in this interview. Came across as very humble and positive toward his peers.

Had a friend who got in a mini bike accident and loss the use of his legs. He went to a baseball card show and asked Ted Williams for his autograph. Ted said sure. Pulled out his checkbook and wrote him a check for $25 and signed it on the signature line. In the memo on the check he wrote “Hitting Lessons.” Ted said “You can cash that, but I would recommend holding on to that.” LEGEND!!

My father served in the Marines in WW 2 and said that Ted Williams was a legend in his own time there. He apparently had the best eye test score ever up to that point in the USMC. Every man wanted to be John Wayne while John Wayne wanted to be Ted Williams

Ted Williams, Marine World War II & Korean War Fighter Pilot Veteran...thank you for your service sir.🇺🇸

Perfect swing, and he could fly an F-86. What a guy!!

I am 71 and I am glad I was a kid and saw most of the players he mentions. The first live game I saw was between Cleveland and the Angels, the second Yankees against the Angels with Whitey Ford on the Mound and Micky Mantle ( my favorite Player) in Centerfield. The next night we saw the Dodgers vs the Giants with Sandy Koufax, my brothers favorite player. I know there are great players today, but I think Baseball was better back then.

I'm a die hard Yankees fan. I LOVE listening to Mr Williams. People have accused him of being braggadocios. I find him just the opposite. He was/is the greatest hitter ever. He recognizes so many that we at least close to him. True student of the game.

I loved seeing Mays, Mantle, Aaron, and Frank Robinson. I saw films of Ted Williams and Dimaggio. Ted Williams had a perfect swing. Got to add Stan the man Musial. I saw him play too. All of the above are some of the greatest to ever play the game.

Ted's career numbers would have been much higher if he hadn't stopped playing twice to serve in WWII and the Korean War. To me, he is the best hitter that ever played the game.

Every Ted Williams interview you see he's always full of praise for other great players Always.

He’s right on DiMaggio. JoeD lost 3 years to WW2, but as a right handed hitter in enormous Yankee Stadium, Bill James said he had the largest home field disadvantage in baseball history probably costing 120 HR’s. He would have been high 500’s without WW2 and in any other ballpark. that with his average and 360ish strikeouts his whole CAREER and playing in huge Yankee Stadium CF getting to everything. JoeD is underrated.

The first MLB game I attended was the 1960 opening day game at Griffith stadium in DC. The Senators played the Boston Red Sox in what was Ted Williams' final season. The Senators won the game 10-1, and the one run was a Williams homer out of the park!! My dad stood and applauded and I didn't know why since it was the opposition. He explained that it was in appreciation for a great player. As a footnote, I also witnessed a MLB record that day that still stands today! Washington's pitcher was Camilo Pascual who just happened to strike out 15 Red Sox which stands as the record for strikeouts in an opening day game to this day. I'm pretty excited about that!

Left the game during the prime of his career, and still hit 500 home runs. Also, the last hitter to hit over .400 for a full year.

Ted William's book on hitting was one of the best reads about the inner workings of baseball. I read The Art and Science of Hitting as a high school baseball player and had my best year at the plate for my team in 1989, playing a part in wining a State Championship. What a sharp mind and a great teacher!

It was 1951 i was 8 allie reynolds had a no hitter 2 outs bottom of the 9th ted williams up hits a popup yogi berra drops it and next pitch another popup this time berra catches it.a no hitter.i was sitting 3rd base.i can remember it like yesterday

Ted Williams has my enduring respect. He was a fabulous ball player but more importantly he was totally honest with his views in life. He told it like it was and didn’t let color influence his opinions.

Ted was always very complimentary towards other players in any interview I’ve ever seen.
