As I recall reading in my youth, Ted had 20-15 vision -- that is perfect for watching a baseball come toward you.

The inheritor of William's legacy, Tony Gwynn, also had 20-15 vision and said that he too could see the seams on a pitched ball.

The Splendid Splinter was a San Diego native. Often I drive home from work via State Route 56 -- Ted Williams Parkway.
