About the Player
'The Splendid Splinter' is considered the most disciplined and premiere student of the 'Art of Hitting'. In 1941 he became the last player to bat .400 with a .406 average. In 1942, Ted won the Triple Crown batting .356 with 36 HR and 137 RBI. Despite his domination at the plate that year, he finished second in the MVP voting to Yankees second baseman Joe Gordon. In 1947, Williams accomplished his second Triple Crown, this time batting .342 with 32 HR and 114 RBI. Once again Williams finished second in the MVP voting (this time to the more popular Joe DiMaggio), largely because one Boston sportswriter had refused to include “The Splendid Splinter” on his ballot. Ted hit 521 home runs despite missing nearly five years of baseball due to military duty during WWII and the Korean War. Ted Williams was elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1966.
