#AndThenThisHappened! They're Just Arriving (in Batches) In Town. @BillBrettBoston's Fifth Book, BOSTON:

Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid” is out. The reviews are starting to come in. The Associated Press review: 

“Absorbing…this is surely the definitive Ted Williams book. …Bradlee’s brilliant account is required reading for any Red Sox fan.  It’s also a fascinating portrait of a complex character that a baseball agnostic or even a Yankees fan will find hard to put down.” Full review here.

Ted Williams had great aim off the field 

An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”:  On Saturday mornings as a boy, Ted [Williams] and one of his best friends, Joe Villarino, would hike up into the hills outside of San Diego and go rabbit hunting, swim and look for Huck Finn-like adventure. “One day,” Villarino remembers, “we was walking around this trail and a rattlesnake come out and Ted shot it with a .45 he had. We laid it aside, and when we came back, he wrapped him around his neck and shoulders and carried it home.  Another time, at Dobie’s Pond, there was a kid in trouble. He was about eight or nine. We was about fourteen or fifteen. The kid was kinda splashing around. Ted went in and got him. He didn’t make a big deal of it. He didn’t like to be in the limelight too much.”
