FYI: ( The Splendid Splinter was my hero when I was growing up. )
ON THE AFTERNOON OF SUNDAY, Sept. 28, 1941, it was cool and damp in Philadelphia. Inside Shibe Park, where the hometown Athletics were suiting up to face the Red Sox, all eyes were on Boston’s 23-year-old slugger, Ted Williams. It was the last day of the regular season, and Williams’s average stood just a hair short of .400, at .39955.
Regards,
Ted
