Ted Williams and Al Kaline were my heroes as a kid. Every frickin' thing I owned had one of those two signatures on it
I read Ted Williams book as a kid and he taught me how to get the power out of my swing. When I got it together , I became a darn good long ball hitter.
Seven years ago when I retired/took a disability from the consulting firm I worked at, I went out on top of my game with a list of records that will likely stand for several decades. My last at bat was just like Ted Williams' , a home run. Yep, me and Ted
.
I sure hope my family doesn't get all nuts with this stuff and stick my head in the freezer when I die
