Ted Williams was the greatest hitter who ever lived and he’d be the first to tell you so. He complied a resume of prolific accomplishments during his 19-year career with the Boston Red Sox but didn’t have the hardware to match the production. Williams won the American League MVP Award twice but there were multiple years when he was robbed.
The period that Williams played in was vastly different from today’s game. MLB was split into the two leagues we still have today but there were no divisions or Wild Cards. The top team in each league would earn a trip to the World Series.
