Quotes
This is a sad day for baseball, a sad day for anyone who knew Ted. Nobody was more loyal, generous, corageous, more respected than Ted. He sacrificed his life and his career for his country. But he became what he alaways wanted to be -- the greatest hitter ever. The Red Sox were our rivals, but Ted was a good friend. Always has been. I liked to chat with him when he came up to hit, but nobody had fiercer concentration. He was just a great guy
