Baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams is probably the greatest hitter who ever lived, yet he is much more. He is a man who fought for his country in World War II and Korea, and a man who spoke up eloquently for the induction of blacks to the Hall of Fame before it was popular to do so. Ted Williams: A Tribute pays unique homage to a man whose impact transcends the sport. Color photos.

Ted Williams: A Tribute

Using statistical information and his personal expertise, Williams provides insights not only into the careers of those that he considers to be the all-time greats, but also the rising stars of baseball.Included with Williams' thoughts are photographs, many never published before, of the greatest hitters of all time, including the Splendid Splinter himself. For fans of all ages, Ted Williams' Hit List offers a glimpse into the glorious past of the sport and serves as a reminder of all that is still great about the "Great American Pastime.

The Boston Red Sox are one of the most storied sports franchises in North America. Steeped in tradition, they represent a veritable treasure trove of baseball lore. From the earliest days of a promising young pitcher named Babe Ruth, through the glory years of Foxx, Williams, and Yastrzemski, to the present era of superstars such as Garciaparra and Martinez, the Red Sox epitomize all that is grand about the grand old game. Over the years they've been blessed with some of the most colorful and engaging characters ever to don a major league uniform -- Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Dick "Dr. Strangeglove" Stuart, and Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, to name just a few. Tales from the Red Sox Dugout captures the flavor and atmosphere of the Red Sox dugout. You'll find this book as irresistible as a sunny afternoon doubleheader at Fenway.
