Ted Williams knew how to get on base…just like David Ortiz.
The Kid’s goal: Get on base
An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: [Ted] Williams’s hitting credo was simple: get a good pitch to hit. Critics said he followed this rule to the extreme by refusing to chase a pitch that was even an inch off the strike zone, thereby hurting his team by having its best hitter often pass up an opportunity to drive a runner home. But Ted made the slippery slope counter-argument: that if he chased a pitch an inch from the plate, it would only encourage pitchers to throw two inches outside the zone, then three inches, and so on. History has vindicated Ted’s approach, as there is now broad acceptance of the value of reaching base, or on-base-percentage, a statistic that was not appreciated and barely even kept in Williams’s day.

Two of my favorite people. @BillBrettBoston and #DavidMcCullough, the pride of Pittsburgh, at reading and signing for his #WrightBrothers book. Also in the audience is David's wife Rosalee and a few of their children. @harvardbookstore on location

Getting ready for Colm's Confirmation.
Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
