I am indebted to Peter D. of www.neoutdoorvoice.com for leading me to this film footage. I remember watching Ted Williams batting in Fenway Park when I was young - a Red Sox/Yankees game. Ted was no longer a "splinter" but, even at 41 he was a great ballplayer. I seem to recall Whitey Ford was pitching and Yogi Berra was catching for the Yankees - I didn't worry about the Red Sox lineup because I was a Yankees fan.

Here is the film. Get your popcorn and enjoy, it's about 28 minutes.

A Yankees fan!? I'm shocked. I suppose everyone must have their faults. I'm not sure how my family ended up being Red Sox fans in Alabama, but there it is. My cousin cried the day Ted Williams died. Thanks for the video. Take care,
