CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. (AP) - Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox revered and sometimes reviled ``Splendid Splinter'' and baseball's last .400 hitter, has died at age 83.

Williams, who suffered a series of strokes and congestive heart failure in recent years, was taken Friday to Citrus County Memorial Hospital ``where he was pronounced deceased,'' said sheriff's department spokesman Lt. Joe Eckstein.
What a shame. One of the greatest of all times.

Not only a great baseball player, but a patriotic american. He was a Marine Corps jet fighter pilot who missed three full seasons during World War II (1943-45). Flying alongside astronaut John Glenn, Williams returned to service as a combat pilot in Korea.


Joe Torre discussed him today, and said the man was the among the greatest at anything he did


2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....)
1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice
1a. Try and go a week without having to punch a wall in frustration after watching the Mets play
2. 90 Wins and somehow get the Mets into playoffs this year
3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year
3a.Have team understand it is OK to get a hit with runners on base.
4. Mets win World Series (after divine intervention)

Guess that completes the trifecta:
A broadcaster - Jack Buck
A current player - Darryl Kile
A former player - Ted Williams
Strange series of baseball deaths, and all will be missed in their own way.

edit* And I think that this year, now that he's gone, someone will finally hit over .400, which would be a good reminder of how difficult a feat that is.

Tequila, what the fuck did you say?

*edit 2* Thanks CLS, got confused. My apologies to Joe, I don't want you to die any time soon or anything. Just stop announcing with that dipshit McCarver, cuz everything else you do is good.


Long live the Gonzo sigs! Thanks Amy!

Joe buck didn't die, his father jack did.

be that as it may, definately a big loss...I wonder if any current player can hit .400 for a season. I don't think Ichiro can, hes the best bet though.

:)

1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year

:-D

2. Hate the Braves with a passion

:mad:

3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year

:-P

4. Mets win World Series!!!

:eek:

5. Start the 'rebuilding process' immediatley!

As a young, but very knowledgable baseball fan, I am sad that baseball lost one of, if not the, best hitter in the history of the game. I wish that I could have seen him play to fully appreciate what he brought to the game. Imagine if he had not served the war, what his all time numbers would have looked like. Unbelievable.


Thanks to Austin for the pic

It's a shame that someone who had such talent and love of country died. Look at what his numbers were after so many seasons and imagine what they could have been had he not missed 5 years to fly during the Second World War & Korea.

If you get a chance, pick up one of his books on hitting. The man was a scientist with a bat.

Hey everyone!! We might not have to mourn for long. Ted Williams will back sooner than we think!!

quote:

A day after the death of baseball great Ted Williams, a dispute has already arisen over what to do with his body, as Williams’ estranged daughter says her half-brother plans to freeze the Hall of Famer’s body — possibly in hopes of selling his DNA in the future for cloning purposes.



[Dr. Evil] We can call him...mini-Ted Williams [/Dr. Evil]

Picture this:

-Little kid digging in the back yard.

-Finds what appears to be a human femur.

-Takes it to the batting cages and amazingly hits every ball with ease using the aforementioned femur for a bat.

-Kid signs major league contract and becomes a kid wonder.

-Femur turns out to be that of Ted Willaims.

-Movie name: "Like Ted"

We'll be rich. Let's do lunch, babe.

Lil bit of knowledge...During the Williams era, sac flys were considered at bats. If Williams played today and had that last season over .400, it would be more like .450
