Title: Ted Williams died
Post by: markc111 on July 05, 2002, 10:11:03 AM

One of the best hitters in the history of baseball, Ted Williams, died today at the age of 83. As a baseball fan it just sucks, but he lived a long and successful life.

Well, if Ted Williams wasn\'t bad enough, it gets worse if you\'re a Cubs fan who didn\'t mind Baylor. Don Baylor was fired as the Cubs Manager, and Andy McPhail stepped down as the General Manager.

What a season it has been...God.

See Yuz.

Such a sad day for baseball. Ted batted .406 in 41 and was the last person to reach the .400 mark!!!

And he didn\'t even win the MVP Award. He also didn\'t get the MVP when he hit for the cycle. Damn Yankees.

true but it took Shapiro less than 1 year to destroy what hart built in 7 years...........all of the good players minus Thome, and a couple other ones are still around........but after this year probably not (CC Sebathia signed a contract until 2006 I believe).
They traded their ACE Pitcher Colon.....Not Smart.........
