Baseball great Ted Williams has died at 83. More to follow.

Just saw the opening ceremonies for tonight's BOS-DET game on TV.

That is the first time EVER that I can recall the National Anthem being sung all the way to the conclusion before the applause started...a beautiful a cappela version by a lady I don't know.

Taps was blown and there was not a sound in the house.

Beautiful......I'll bet Ted doffed his cap for that one.

For some strange reason I started listing all my Ted Williams baseball cards on eBay today. I've had them for years but decided to sell them all off as soon as I heard the news today.
