Ted Williams is featured twice on this day in history.
On this day in 1941, Williams was batting .399955 when he woke up in the last day of the season. He decided to play a double header against the A's. Williams went for 6-for-8 and finished the season at .406.
On this day in 1960, Williams hit a home run in his last at bat in the major leagues.
Let me add this note: Williams also hit .388 in 1957!
Was Williams the greatest hitter ever? He is #1 on my list and I never saw him play.
