Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Will The Real Ted Williams Please Stand Up?

[A.J. Merrifield (101pdt]

Ted Williams hated blacks,huh?  Oh, really?  Funny, when you read the
transcript of his Hall of Fame induction:
 "I've been a very lucky guy to have worn a baseball uniform, and I hope
some day the names of Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson in some way can be added
as a symbol of the great Negro players who are not here only because they
weren't given a chance."
(For those of you unfamiliar with Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson, they were
two of the stars of the Negro Leagues who were unable to play in the "bigs"
before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947.)
If you're going to disparage a man's character, especially one who served
the country honorably in two major conflicts (something I'd think you'd
understand, Clyde, especially as the man was a naval aviator) I'd think
you'd want to know a bit more about the man first.
Just my $.02.
