Some sad news from the baseball world....one of the greatest hitters of all time has passed on at age 83. What a life and career...he gave pleasure to many Americans. RIP Ted Williams....

An autographed baseball bat and photo are part of a memorabilia display commemorating Ted William's 1942 winning of the Triple Crown (American League leader in batting average, home runs and runs batted in), is shown at the Ted Williams Museum in Hernando, Florida, July 5, 2002. The legendary baseball star, one of the greatest American hitters of all time and the last to hit .400 for a season, died Friday at age 83 after being rushed to hospital with breathing problems, emergency and hospital officials said. The hall of Famer also won a Triple Crown in the 1947 season. REUTERS/ Charles W. Luzier
