Ted Williams

[ExLimey]

What is his legacy going to be now that his family has tarnished his memory?

Does anyone remember that he hit over .500 in 1932? Or that he sank over 100,000 tons of Japanese shipping as a Sub skipper in WWII? Or that he's currently residing in an icecube tray in Arizona?

Perhaps there's something I'm missing, but . . .

I fail to see how the moronic behavior of his offspring denigrates him. After all, he only sired them; he certainly isn't making the decisions for them now that have the public focus on such goofy antics so I fail to see how that tarnishes him or his memory. It makes the one who came up with the Tedsicle idea look pretty dumb, though, I must admit.

he didn't hit over .500, it was .400. but that's not the point, is it?

How is his memory tarnished? It's his kids who are fucking it up, not him.

I know it was .406 and he was in the Airforce and you're right that was the point.

I agree that it does make his offspring look incredibly bad, but you can't say there arent' going to be people out there that just remember this.

Then they know NOTHING about Ted Williams the man. It's called ignorance. I won't say people will just remember this, because that's like saying everyone is an asshole, when in fact, only some are.

Hopefully people will remember his accomplishments on and off the field. The stupidity of his offspring will be forgotten.
