Ted's take on the top 25 sluggers of all time
Ted Williams, arguably the greatest pure hitter in baseball history, ranks his favorites for the top 25 sluggers of all time, from Babe Ruth to Josh Gibson. Originally published in 1996, Ted Williams' Hit List has sold thousands of copies, proving that when the master speaks, people listen. Here, he brings together statistical analysis, personal anecdotes, and a liberal dose of "Teddy Ballgame" bravado to offer insight into the swings and slams of sluggers past.
Williams discusses sluggers such as:
- Lou Gehrig
- Joe DiMaggio
- Ty Cobb
- Stan Musial
- Hank Aaron
- "Shoeless" Joe Jackson
- Willie Mays
- Hank Greenberg
- Mickey Mantle
- Frank Robinson
- Mike Schmidt
Totally repackaged in a handsome paperback volume, this indispensable bestseller from baseball's beloved "Splendid Splinter" will appeal to everyone who continues to be mesmerized by the Williams mystique.
