Ted Williams

Ted Williams was regarded as the greatest hitter who ever lived, an American patriot, and a pioneer in the development of the Jimmy Fund, making him one of the great heroes in the history of baseball, Boston, and America. He amassed 521 home runs despite sacrificing five years in his prime to serve his country during World War II and the Korean War. He was a relentless champion of children in their battles against cancer and helped make the Jimmy Fund at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute a world renowned center of research and care. His memory remained a point of pride for the Boston Red Sox, the people of Boston, New England, and the United States of America.
