Tavares, Matt There Goes Ted Williams: The Greatest Hitter
Who Ever Lived. Candlewick,
2012. $17. PICTURE BOOK.
Despite being interrupted by two major wars, Ted Williams
carved out an impressive career in baseball. From a small boy who was determined to practice his batting
every day, to a 17 year old who was wooed by the majors and on for more than 20
years. Ted’s personality may have
rubbed some people the wrong way, but his work ethic and his hitting ability
made him the greatest hitter ever.
I have heard men talking about Ted Williams, but I have never had enough
information to care one way or another.
This book almost makes me a fan.
Now I at least know why Ted is considered to be so great. I know a couple of baseball fans that
will be receiving this for a gift!
And I know there are lots of baseball crazy kids who will also enjoy
getting the scoop on Williams.
When you consider that he accomplished what he did through lots and
perseverance and not through drugs, it really is amazing , commendable and
admirable.
