Profile

Ted Williams is a baseball legend who played for the Boston Red Sox for his entire 21-year career. As the team's left fielder, he won the Triple Crown twice, the first time before serving in World War II, and the second after he returned. Early in his career, he was heckled by fans. This started a sort of feud in which Williams never tipped his hat to the crowd until a speech in 1991.
