@@waynejohanson1083 Cobb was certainly the best hitter of his time and what makes baseball fun are these debates imo… But Cobb saw Williams play and wrote to him frequently with hitting tips and may very well have argued that Williams was the best or maybe his successor. But I think Williams’ scientific approach to hitting, his understanding of bat speed is a great influence on hitting ever since. I guess it’s like debating whether Isaac Newton or Einstein was smarter. It’s a shame Cobb was defamed by a biographer that made up his “facts” when the real Cobb spoke highly of black players and was a fan of Willie Mays and others.

Ted Williams' batting accomplishments are remarkable and well known in a major league career shortened by four years as a Marine aviator in two wars. But one statistic of his that is not well known and rarely mentioned is that he had a career on-base percentage of .482, meaning he managed to get on base nearly half of all the times he ever came up to bat. This incredible number places Ted Williams in first place of all major league players, ahead of great hitters like Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb, and Babe Ruth who is in second place with .474.

That was a very good fist pitch.. Wow!! The crowd just lit up too with a collective, "Yeah!!". That was amazing. It was magical to me when I saw it on TV when I was 14. All that generational talent on the field at one time. Just amazing. I still come back to it every few years because of that.
