Subject: Baseball Legend Ted Williams Is Dead at 83
Ted Williams, considered by some baseball historians as the greatest baseball hitter ever, died yesterday after a lengthy illness. He was 83. Williams was the last man to hit .400 or more in a season, and served in WW2 and the Korean War a total of 5 years. He spend his entire baseball career with the Boston Red Sox. "The Splendid Splinter" will be missed. :'(

Very sad indeed :'( Just a few months ago we were watching a tape of the '99 All-Star game featuring him. What a great man as well as a baseball player. Also to hit a home run in his last at bat...cool! Didn't he end up hitting .407 one season...I don't think anyone will ever hit .400 for a season again, although my Rockies Larry Walker & Todd Helton came close a few years back. Ted Williams personified class....he will be missed :(
