Ted Williams
A wonderful man,a huge patriot,and the greatest hitter in the history of baseball.As a child,I saw him play at Fenway too, Andy.There was once a rookie pitcher on the mound and up to the plate stepped Teddy,and low and behold,the kid fanned him.He brought the ball to Ted after the game and asked for an autograph.The next time Ted faced the rookie he deposited the ball in the center field bleachers,and rounding 2nd base Ted hollers "You want me to sign that fuckin ball,too?"
