Just watched a great hour long biop of Ted Williams and thoroughly enjoyed it. I never got to see him play (or, at least, I don't remember him playing), but as a child, even then, knew him as the Greatest hitter in Baseball.
The Biop was very interested. I knew about his performances on the field, and knew about his time in the service in WWII, but I didn't know he saw combat and was shot down during the Korean War. I also didn't know he had a tremendous ego and many thought of him as an ass, never tipping his cap to his loyal fans, even when he hit a HR on his last ever at bat, he refused to acknowledge the fans.
Still a fascinating story about the greatest hitter ever to play major league baseball.
