In his last at bat in 1960 he homered. What a way to go out........

At Fenway Park, to this day, the seat in the right field seats where that ball landed is painted red, where all the others are blue.

Ted retired before I was born, but his lengend was passed onto me by my Dad, my grandfather, and an older neighbor. It was as if I had watched him play throughout his career. This is a sad day for baseball and for me. Another basebell legend has passed. Thank you Ted Williams and may you rest in peace.

I think Ted Williams was a great, great ballplayer and I will always miss him walking around on the planet. But, there's certainly room for more than just one.

To even things out a bit, there was another great player who played for a Boston team who hit THREE home runs in his last game. Who is to say which was the better player?

After that, we can talk about pitchers.
