Ted Williams

http://web.baseballhalloffame.org/media/player/mp_tpl.j...mv&type=v_free&_mp=1

Stats matter.

Williams-.344 lifetime avg., .482 OB%, .634 slug.%, 521 HR, 7706 ABs

Dimaggio-.325 avg., .398 OB%, .579 slug.%, 361 HR, 6821 ABs

Dimaggio did only have 369 SOs which is VERY impressive.

Ditto to Dee and Powertoallfields here.

I'm surprised more people did't choose one or the other.

Are these swings being promoted today?

By some, but not many....well...not enough, IMO.

I think Williams had the better swing. And obviously the better numbers.

But I'd have settled for DiMaggio's swing, numbers, AND Marilyn Monroe.

mechanically, from launch to contact they are almost identical... so i guess physiologically i would take TW's body... but JD's girlfriend...

Remember JD got that girl with his own body.

Not sure how much that proves (LOL).

Arthur Miller "got" her next, with his body.

And he was a playright.


Sorry for the digression.

Best,
