| Publisher Description: This book covers each and every one of Ted Williams' 521 home runs - but by no means stops there. It also looks at homers he hit in high school, in the minors, in exhibition games, and in All-Star Games. The book quotes Ted himself on hitting and presents comments and stories from many others about the homers Ted hit.There have been a handful of hitters who now have more homers than Ted - though he was the fourth to join the 500 HR Club. There have been very few with a higher lifetime batting average. There has been no one with a higher on-base percentage. Ted ranks at the top when one considers hitting for a combination of average and power. |
