    In 2002 I had the honor of meeting Ted Williams. I was clerking a hearing with him and his son, who was now in charge of his memorabilia and trade mark. There was a family squabble over who would control his estate and valuable items and some phony stuff on the market lowering the value of his items. He was a very handsome, personable older gentleman who was very sweet to me. We spoke for about 20 minutes after the hearing and he gave me his autograph. A very nice man. My husband was very jealous. lol

    Teddy Ballgame. Sad he never was on a Series winning team. I was at Fenway the day his number was retired. Cool to see him ride around the park in that golf cart.

    Slightly before my time, but the guy could straight up hit. Others I'd place in that category are Tony Quin, George Brett, Carew, and a few oters
