Forgive my ignorance, but who is Ted Williams?
Ted Williams was a Hall of Famer for the Boston Red Sox. He was the only player to finish a season with a .400 batting average (George Brett hit .402 at one point, but finished the year at .390)
His life time average was .344 (probably one of the highest ever in baseball).
I also got his nickname wrong. It's Splendid Splinter, obviously.

Just after I signed off here I saw the report on CNN. Impressive!
