“when he batted right handed”.....Huh? Ted hit from the left side. What am I missing here?

Thanks. Ted Williams did bat left handed and did everything else right handed.

Besides being a great athlete, batting left handed and being right handed with a dominant right eye coupled with his at least 20/10 at least vision, he was an incredible batter.

According to Joe Montana, a fairly good pro QB, being left eyed and throwing a football or hitting a golf ball right handed was an advantage as well as batting left handed with a dominant right eye.

Thanks again, Dave
