Williams was 20 years old when he broke into the major leagues on April 20, 1939, with the Boston Red Sox. Ted Williams stats, height, weight, career totals, schools, positions, and more historical research are in the Baseball Almanac. "Giant centerfield Willie Mays compared (Ted) Williams and (Stan) Musial to sportswriter Roger Kahn. 'Ted Williams was the best pure hitter I ever saw,' Mays said. 'But Ted was stubborn. When they shifted on him, everybody to the right side, he still kept trying to pull the ball for hits. If anybody shifted that way on Musial, he would have wrecked them, by slapping base hits into left. Ted Williams is the best pure hitter I ever saw. Musial is the best all around hitter.'" - Gaus, Ed. Author. Beerball: A History of St. Louis Baseball. iUniverse Publishing. 18 July 2001. Page 128.
