TED WILLIAMS: 1918 - 2002

Ted Williams Tribute - Monday, July 22, 2002

Legends' tales: 'Trying to get a fastball by him was like trying to get a sunbeam past a rooster'

Red Sox tales: 'He liked to do everything alone. But he had every friend in America'

Dan Shaughnessy: 'The Kid stays alive through folklore, the telling of tall tales. He's a baseball

Bunyan.'

Fans' tales: 'What I failed to realize at the time, however, is that I would likely never again be within an arm's length of royalty'

The science of hitting: 'If we'd just set up a Ted Williams University the day he retired, we'd have started understanding all this a long, long time ago'
