Quotes

“ Book people felt me out with questions pertaining to baseball, ”
Joltin' Joe's journal up for auction
United Press International
“ He was a mountain of a man. He had a great presence. He was a tough customer. I was fortunate to have met him and have been in his company. He loved talking about hitting. I was lucky to have sat next to him for an entire game once and he talked about hitting throughout the entire game. He once told me that he thought Paul O'Neil was perhaps one of the best hitters in baseball and I know Paul took that very personally. Something that meant a lot to Paul. He was more than baseball though, I think it was Bob Costas who said John Wayne played Ted Williams in all of his movies. He was a special guy. ”
Williams remembered as American icon

“ Ted was like John Wayne. He was a man's man. As a Hall of Famer, every time you went to the Hall of Fame, you wanted Ted to be there, as it put a stamp of approval on your being there. His being at my induction was the stamp of approval I needed. ”
Williams remembered as American icon
