Ted Williams, The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived, 10th July 1960

from Classic Baseball Radio · host Ewan Spence

Ted Williams sits alongside the likes of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and Hank Aaron in the pantheon of baseball hitters. He spent his entire time in the Majors with the Boston Red Sox. Over 19 years he averaged .344/.482/.634. He was the last player to average over .400 in a single season, and to this day that .482 on base percentage is highest of all time. It's 1960, and Ted Williams is in his last season. Naturally the Boston Red Soxs have put him in the three-hole as the team faces Ralph Terry of the New York Yankees. Mel Allen and Phil Rizzuto for Yankees Radio take you through the game. You can find the boxscore here. This game was played on July 10th, 1960.
