Ted Williams was quite the cutey as a kid, no?
Ted was candid to a fault
An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: Williams was high strung, filled with nervous energy, always biting his fingernails. Ted’s friends found him candid to a fault, unvarnished. If he didn’t like someone, he would tell him so, to his face, rather than gossip behind his back. “I don’t care for you, fellah,” he might say.

The Splendid Splinter
Charles McGrath in the New York Times Sunday Book Review calls “The Kid” “a hard-to-put-down account of a fascinating American life.” More from The Times: “The people at the Alcor cryonics facility, in Scottsdale, Ariz., would have us believe that Ted Williams really is immortal. They have his body there, the head severed from the rest, flash-frozen in a giant thermos-like tank and awaiting only the scientific advancement that will allow him to be thawed, resuscitated and rejuvenated.”
the people waiting to stampede the exhibition floor at BookExpo America #bea15 No, thank you. I'm down at the #Starbucks, my mom and sisters have made sure my Starbucks card is fully charged and then...so am I. #BookMadness
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.
