good story about ted: left to fly missions in the war. comes back to the sox, takes batting practice, for the first time in a year or two, on a regulation diamond. after a couple of pitches he stops and says the mound was in inch off in height. no one believes him but he insists. they measure and sure enough it is off by an inch.
also i think it was actually 20-10 vision.

Once, in the Fenway clubhouse, someone put 3 bats on a bench. One was a 1/4 ounce (7 grams, about 1/2 tablespoon of water in weight) heavier than the other two. Ted picked it out.
