Theodore Samuel "Ted" Williams (b. August 30, San Diego, California), (aka The Splendid Splinter, Teddy Ballgame or simply The Kid), baseball Hall Of Famer who spent 19 seasons, interrupted by military service with the Boston Red Sox.

Williams is hailed as a great, possibly the greatest, left fielder and one of the finest hitters to have ever played the game


In 1941, he came to the last game of the season with a batting average of .3996 (recorded as .400) and make Williams the first man to hit .400 since Bill Terry in 1930. Given the option by his manager, Williams opted to play and risk losing his record. He got 4 hits in 5 at bats, raising his season average to .406. No one has hit .400 since.
