Ted Williams
Unknown author / Public domain · resizedfile
Born
Left fielder, Boston Red Sox, 1939 to 1960. Williams hit plenty of home runs, but his defining skill was refusing to swing at bad pitches: his career on-base percentage of .482 is the highest in Major League history. In 1941 he batted .406, and no Major League player has reached .400 since. His book The Science of Hitting is still read by coaches.
