A Meeting Of Baseball Royalty: Ted Williams & Babe Ruth shake hands at Fenway Park, Boston (1943)
When I was in school, I worked as an overnite convenience store clerk and my boss told me a tale that as a kid his mom
took him to a Red Sox game and upon leaving the stadium late that afternoon they met Williams and another man. His mom asked
TW for an autograph for her son, which Williams declined; thereby prompting mom to launch a diatribe against Williams.
Phenomenal eyesight and an extremely disciplined strike zone aside, Williams' rather mercurial fan attitude can be seen from
a variety of angles but all point to a fairly complicated inner nature.

I don't think you are allowed to say that in today's game! My fave, as a Giant fan, Sal The Barber Maglio.
I gave the little boy down the street that old box of baseball cards...
Mine were tossed too...
