title="Baseball">baseball</a> player and <a href="/wiki/Manager_(baseball)" title="Manager (baseball)">manager</a>. He played his entire 19-year <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</a> (MLB) career, primarily as a <a href="/wiki/Left_fielder" title="Left fielder">left fielder</a>, for the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Red_Sox" title="Boston Red Sox">Boston Red Sox</a> from 1939 to 1960; his career was interrupted by military service during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Korean_War" title="Korean War">Korean War</a>. Nicknamed "Teddy Ballgame", "the Kid", "the Splendid Splinter", and "the Thumper", Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history in addition to being the last player to <a href="/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_players_with_a_.400_batting_average_in_a_season" title="List of Major League Baseball players with a .400 batting average in a season">hit over .400</a> in a season. Williams was a nineteen-time <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game" title="Major League Baseball All-Star Game">All-Star</a>, a two-time recipient of the AL <a href="/wiki/MLB_Most_Valuable_Player_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="MLB Most Valuable Player Award">Most Valuable Player Award</a>, a six-time AL <a href="/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_batting_champions" title="List of Major League Baseball batting champions">batting champion</a>, and a two-time <a href="/wiki/Triple_crown_(baseball)" class="mw-redirect" title="Triple crown (baseball)">Triple Crown</a> winner. He finished his playing career with a .344 <a href="/wiki/Batting_average_(baseball)" title="Batting average (baseball)">batting average</a>, 521 <a href="/wiki/Home_run" title="Home run">home runs</a>, and a 1.116 <a href="/wiki/On-base_plus_slugging_percentage" class="mw-redirect" title="On-base plus slugging percentage">on-base plus slugging percentage</a>, the third highest of all time. His career batting average is the highest of any MLB player whose career was played primarily after World War II, and ranks 11th all-time. Born and raised in <a href="/wiki/San_Diego" title="San Diego">San Diego</a>, Williams played baseball throughout his youth. After joining the Red Sox in 1939, he immediately emerged as one of the sport's best hitters. In 1941, Williams posted a .406 batting average; he is the last <a href="/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_players_with_a_.400_batting_average_in_a_season" title="List of Major League Baseball players with a .400 batting average in a season">baseball player to bat over .400 in a season</a>.

He famously used a lighter bat than most sluggers, because it generated a faster swing.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes.com-127">[127]</a> In 1970, he wrote a book on the subject, <a href="/wiki/The_Science_of_Hitting" title="The Science of Hitting">The Science of Hitting</a> (revised 1986), which is still read by many baseball players.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes.com-127">[127]</a> The book describes his theory of swinging only at pitches that came into ideal areas of his <a href="/wiki/Strike_zone" title="Strike zone">strike zone</a>, a strategy Williams credited with his success as a hitter; as a result, Williams' bases-on-balls-to-plate-appearances ratio (.2065) is the highest of any player in the Hall of Fame.

He maintained a career-long feud with <a href="/wiki/Sport_(US_magazine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sport (US magazine)">Sport</a> due to a 1948 feature article in which the reporter included a quote from Williams' mother. Insecure about his upbringing, and stubborn because of immense confidence in his own talent, Williams made up his mind that the "knights of the keyboard", as he derisively labeled the press, were against him. After having hit for the league's Triple Crown in 1947, Williams narrowly lost the MVP award in a vote where one Midwestern newspaper writer left Williams entirely off his ten-player ballot.<a href="#cite_note-1947ballot-86">[86]</a> During his career, some sportswriters also criticized aspects of Williams' baseball performance, including what they viewed as his lackadaisical fielding and lack of clutch hitting. Williams pushed back, saying: "They're always saying that I don't hit in the clutches. Well, there are a lot [of games] when I do."<a href="#cite_note-130">[130]</a> He also asserted that it made no sense crashing into an outfield wall to try to make a difficult catch because of the risk of injury or being out of position to make the play after missing the ball.<a href="#cite_note-131">[131]</a> Williams treated most of the press accordingly, as he described in his 1969 memoir My Turn at Bat. Williams also had an uneasy relationship with the Boston fans, though he could be very cordial one-to-one. He felt at times a good deal of gratitude for their passion and their knowledge of the game. On the other hand, Williams was temperamental, high-strung, and at times tactless. In his biography, Ronald Reis relates how Williams committed two fielding miscues in a doubleheader in 1950 and was roundly booed by Boston fans. He bowed three times to various sections of Fenway Park and made an obscene gesture. When he came to bat he spat in the direction of fans near the dugout. The incident caused an avalanche of negative media reaction, and inspired sportswriter Austen Lake's famous comment that when Williams' name was announced the sound was like "autumn wind moaning through an apple orchard."<a href="#cite_note-132">[132]</a> Another incident occurred in 1958 in a game against the Washington Senators. Williams struck out, and as he stepped from the batter's box swung his bat violently in anger. The bat slipped from his hands, was launched into the stands and struck a 60-year-old woman who turned out to be the housekeeper of the Red Sox general manager Joe Cronin. While the incident was an accident and Williams apologized to the woman personally, to all appearances it seemed at the time that Williams had hurled the bat in a fit of temper.<a href="#cite_note-133">[133]</a> Williams gave generously to those in need. He was especially linked with <a href="/wiki/The_Jimmy_Fund" title="The Jimmy Fund">the Jimmy Fund</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Dana%E2%80%93Farber_Cancer_Institute" title="Dana–Farber Cancer Institute">Dana–Farber Cancer Institute</a>, which provides support for children's cancer research and treatment. Williams used his celebrity to virtually launch the fund, which raised more than $750 million between 1948 and 2010. Throughout his career, Williams made countless bedside visits to children being treated for cancer, which Williams insisted go unreported. Often parents of sick children would learn at check-out time that "Mr. Williams has taken care of your bill". The Fund recently stated that "Williams would travel everywhere and anywhere, no strings or paychecks attached, to support the cause... His name is synonymous with our battle against all forms of cancer."<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated2-134">[134]</a> Williams demanded loyalty from those around him. He could not forgive the fickle nature of the fans—booing a player for booting a ground ball, and then turning around and roaring approval of the same player for hitting a home run. Despite the cheers and adulation of most of his fans, the occasional boos directed at him in Fenway Park led Williams to stop tipping his cap in acknowledgment after a home run.<a href="#cite_note-135">[135]</a> Williams maintained this policy up to and including his swan song in 1960. After hitting a home run at Fenway Park, which would be his last career at-bat, Williams characteristically refused either to tip his cap as he circled the bases or to respond to prolonged cheers of "We want Ted!" from the crowd by making an appearance from the dugout. The Boston manager <a href="/wiki/Pinky_Higgins" title="Pinky Higgins">Pinky Higgins</a> sent Williams to his fielding position in left field to start the ninth inning, but then immediately recalled him for his back-up <a href="/wiki/Carroll_Hardy" title="Carroll Hardy">Carroll Hardy</a>, thus allowing Williams to receive one last ovation as he jogged onto then off the field, and he did so without reacting to the crowd. Williams' aloof attitude led the writer John Updike to observe wryly that "Gods do not answer letters."<a href="#cite_note-updike-124">[124]</a> Williams' final home run did not take place during the final game of the 1960 season, but rather in the Red Sox's last home game that year. The Red Sox played three more games, but they were on the road in New York City and Williams did not appear in any of them, as it became clear that Williams' final home at-bat would be the last one of his career.<a href="#cite_note-136">[136]</a> In 1991, on Ted Williams Day at Fenway Park, Williams pulled a Red Sox cap from out of his jacket and tipped it to the crowd. This was the first time that he had done so since his earliest days as a player.<a href="#cite_note-137">[137]</a> Williams once had a friendship with Ty Cobb, with whom he often had discussions about baseball. He often touted <a href="/wiki/Rogers_Hornsby" title="Rogers Hornsby">Rogers Hornsby</a> as being the greatest right-handed hitter of all time. In <a href="/wiki/Al_Stump" title="Al Stump">Al Stump</a>'s now discredited biography about Cobb, he claimed that this assertion actually led to a split in the relationship between Ty Cobb and Ted Williams. Once during one of their yearly debate sessions on the greatest hitters of all time, Williams asserted that Hornsby was one of the greatest of all time. Cobb apparently had strong feelings about Hornsby and he threw a fit, expelling Williams from his hotel room. However, this story was later refuted by Ted Williams himself.<a href="#cite_note-138">[138]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Military_service">Military service</h2>[<a

title="Korean War">Korean War</a>. Unlike many other major league players, he did not spend all of his war-time playing on service teams.<a href="#cite_note-bullock2004-139">[139]</a> Williams had been classified 3-A by Selective Service prior to the war, a dependency deferment because he was his mother's sole means of financial support. When his classification was changed to 1-A following the American entry into World War II, Williams appealed to his local draft board. The draft board ruled that his draft status should not have been changed. He made a public statement that once he had built up his mother's trust fund, he intended to enlist. Even so, criticism in the media, including withdrawal of an endorsement contract by <a href="/wiki/Quaker_Oats" class="mw-redirect" title="Quaker Oats">Quaker Oats</a>, resulted in his enlistment in the U.S. Naval Reserve on May 22, 1942. Williams did not opt for an easy assignment playing baseball for the Navy, but rather joined the V-5 program to become a Naval aviator. Williams was first sent to the Navy's Preliminary Ground School at <a href="/wiki/Amherst_College" title="Amherst College">Amherst College</a> for six months of academic instruction in various subjects including math and navigation, where he achieved a 3.85 grade point average. Williams was talented as a pilot, and so enjoyed it that he had to be ordered by the Navy to leave training to personally accept his American League 1942 <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_Triple_Crown" class="mw-redirect" title="Major League Baseball Triple Crown">Major League Baseball Triple Crown</a>.<a href="#cite_note-bullock2004-139">[139]</a> Williams' Red Sox teammate, <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Pesky" title="Johnny Pesky">Johnny Pesky</a>, who went into the same aviation training program, said this about Williams: "He mastered intricate problems in fifteen minutes which took the average cadet an hour, and half of the other cadets there were college grads." Pesky again described Williams' acumen in the advanced training, for which Pesky personally did not qualify: "I heard Ted literally tore the sleeve target to shreds with his angle dives. He'd shoot from wingovers, zooms, and barrel rolls, and after a few passes the sleeve was ribbons. At any rate, I know he broke the all-time record for hits." Ted went to Jacksonville for a course in aerial gunnery, the combat pilot's payoff test, and broke all the records in reflexes, coordination, and visual-reaction time. "From what I heard. Ted could make a plane and its six 'pianos' (machine guns) play like a symphony orchestra", Pesky says. "From what they said, his reflexes, coordination, and visual reaction made him a built-in part of the machine."<a href="#cite_note-140">[140]</a> Williams completed pre-flight training in <a href="/wiki/Athens,_Georgia" title="Athens, Georgia">Athens, Georgia</a>, his primary training at <a href="/wiki/Grissom_Joint_Air_Reserve_Base" class="mw-redirect" title="Grissom Joint Air Reserve Base">NAS Bunker Hill</a>, Indiana, and his advanced flight training at <a href="/wiki/NAS_Pensacola" class="mw-redirect" title="NAS Pensacola">NAS Pensacola</a>.

Williams reported for duty on May 2, 1952.

His biographer, Leigh Montville, argued that Williams was not happy about being pressed into service in South Korea, but he did what he thought was his patriotic duty. Following his return to the United States in August 1953, he resigned his Reserve commission to resume his baseball career.<a href="#cite_note-Fortitudine-141">[141]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Post-retirement">Post-retirement</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ted_Williams&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Post-retirement">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Red_Sox_9.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Red_Sox_9.svg/110px-Red_Sox_9.svg.png" decoding="async" width="110" height="110" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Red_Sox_9.svg/165px-Red_Sox_9.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Red_Sox_9.svg/220px-Red_Sox_9.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="600" /></a><figcaption>Ted Williams's number 9 was <a href="/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_retired_numbers" title="List of Major League Baseball retired numbers">retired</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Red_Sox#Retired_numbers" title="Boston Red Sox">Boston Red Sox</a> in 1984.</figcaption></figure> After retirement from play, Williams helped Boston's new left fielder, <a href="/wiki/Carl_Yastrzemski" title="Carl Yastrzemski">Carl Yastrzemski</a>, in hitting, and was a regular visitor to the Red Sox' <a href="/wiki/Spring_training" title="Spring training">spring training</a> camps from 1961 to 1966, where he worked as a special batting instructor. He served as executive assistant to Tom Yawkey (1961–65), then was named a team vice president (1965–68) upon his election to the Hall of Fame. He resumed his spring training instruction role with the club in 1978. Beginning in 1961, he would spend summers at the Ted Williams Baseball Camp in <a href="/wiki/Lakeville,_Massachusetts" title="Lakeville, Massachusetts">Lakeville, Massachusetts</a>, which he had established in 1958 with his friend Al Cassidy and two other business partners. For eight summers and parts of others after that, he would give hitting clinics and talk baseball at the camp.<a href="#cite_note-Montville19-4">[4]</a> It was not uncommon to find Williams fishing in the pond at the camp. The area now is owned by the town and a few of the buildings still stand. In the main lodge one can still see memorabilia from Williams' playing days.

Williams' best season as a manager was 1969 when he led the expansion Senators to an 86–76 record in the team's only winning season in Washington. He was chosen "Manager of the Year" after that season. Like many great players, Williams became impatient with ordinary athletes' abilities and attitudes, particularly those of pitchers, whom he admitted he never respected. Fellow manager <a href="/wiki/Alvin_Dark" title="Alvin Dark">Alvin Dark</a> thought Williams "was a smart, fearless manager" who helped his hitters perform better. Williams' issue with Washington/Texas, according to Dark, was when the ownership traded away his third baseman and shortstop, making it difficult for the club to be as competitive.<a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a> On the subject of pitchers, in Ted's autobiography written with <a href="/wiki/John_Underwood_(sportswriter)" title="John Underwood (sportswriter)">John Underwood</a>, Ted opines regarding <a href="/wiki/Bob_Lemon" title="Bob Lemon">Bob Lemon</a> (a sinker-ball specialist) pitching for the Cleveland Indians around 1951: "I have to rate Lemon as one of the very best pitchers I ever faced.
