[Alas Babylon!]

Ted was also a great sportsman. A fine hunter and lover of guns. I used to watch him on a hunting show, don't remember the name, when I was a boy.

Such sad news. He was a hunter and fisherman too. My husband had a Ted williams fishing pole when he was a kid and says it was the best he ever had. Sears carried Ted Williams fishing equipment for many years..

I used to watch him on a hunting show, don't remember the name,

"The American Sportsman" with Curt Gowdy. Another one of the greats..

Trivia alert: Ted Williams was the only man to be elected to both the baseball and fishing halls of fame!

"Ted was also a great sportsman. A fine hunter and lover of guns."

And, a very, very serious fisherman. World class, in fact!

Ted was also a great sportsman

Yes, he was an expert fisherman, as well as a hunter. One reason I am also a fan of his is that he owns Dalmatians (my breed) -- an extremely active and incredibly athletic breed of dog (the free safety of the dog world -- to mix sports!).

A great hero, patriot, man and ballplayer.

RIP

Oh, man, couldn't I use him on my fantasy baseball team!

[Uncle George]

And he was the sporting goods tester for Sears, He stood behind any product he tried out and endorsed. As you said he was an ALL ROUND SPORTSMAN and great AMERICAN.
