520    Ted Williams was the best hitter in baseball history. His 
       batting average of .406 in 1941 has not been topped since,
       and no player who has hit more than five hundred home runs
       has a higher career batting average. Those totals would 
       have been even higher if Williams had not left baseball 
       for nearly five years in the prime of his career to serve 
       as a Marine pilot in World War II and Korea. He hit home 
       runs farther than any player before him, and traveled a 
       long way himself, as this biography reveals. Born in 1918 
       in San Diego, Ted would spend most of his life disguising 
       his Mexican heritage. During his twenty-two years with the
       Boston Red Sox, Williams electrified crowds across America,
       and shocked them, too. His notorious clashes with the 
       press and fans threatened his reputation. Yet while he was
       a god in the batter's box, he was profoundly human once he
       stepped away from the plate. His ferocity came to define 
       his troubled domestic life. While baseball might have been
       straightforward for Ted Williams, life was not.
