A man has to have goals – for a day, for a lifetime – and that was mine, to have people say, “There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.”

A man has to have goals – for a day, for a lifetime – and that was mine, to have people say, “There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.”
~Ted Williams
He had a lot of fans, for he was quite the hitter, but like a lot of these guys, it seems that he was his own biggest fan.
I’m too young to remember Willaims, but my dad tells me the opposite of “he had a lot of fans,” especially in Boston where his relationship with almost everyone was apparently strained to say the least. I guess I lack guts because if Williams were still alive and happened to walk into a room where my regular ass was sitting, I would probably shapeshift into a poodle and shake and then piss in my pants and after i stopped shaking, i would motion to the bartender to keep em coming and then I would let Mr. Williams talk as big as he wanted to talk.
