	Ted Williams Dies At 83 - CBS News
		Williams, who suffered a series of strokes and congestive heart failure in recent years, was taken Friday to Citrus County Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead of cardiac arrest at 8:49 a.m., said hospital spokeswoman Rebecca Martin.
		Williams contended his eyesight was so keen he could pick up individual stitches on a pitched ball and could see the exact moment his bat connected with it.
		Williams led the league in hitting six times, the last in 1958, when, at age 40, he became the oldest batting champ in major league history.

	1919 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Starting pitchers Eddie Cicotte and Claude "Lefty" Williams, outfielders "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and Oscar "Happy" Felsch, and infielders Charles "Swede" Risberg and Fred McMullin were six of the players.
		"Lefty" Williams, the starting pitcher in Game Two, was not going to be as obvious as Cicotte.
		The night before the eighth game, Williams - who was due to pitch - was visited by an associate of Sullivan's who left him in no doubt that if he failed to blow the game in the first inning, he and his wife would be in serious danger.

		Williams is very active, flexible, coordinated and light on his feet for a man his size.
		Negatives: While not a pear-shaped athlete, Williams seems to have a coating of baby fat on his body and is far from being cut; in other words, he doesn't have the muscular definition of a weightlifter.
		While he really likes football, Williams also loves eating, and he must cut down on the latter and spend more time in the weight room and running to realize his nearly unlimited potential.

	Notes from the Shadows of Cooperstown
		Lefty later testified under oath that Jackson was not in on the Fix, but his name was, and Lefty represented Jackson to the gamblers -- without Joe's knowledge or permission.
		If Lefty made this statement to anyone before Game Eight, it would have been to Gleason, to make sure that he got the start; if he made it up, or was advised by Austrian to say it, for the grand jury, it likely was to emphasize the double-crossing that had taken place.
		Lefty does as he is told, and soon realizes that his cat is in the oven.) Lefty kept the threat to himself, and was pulled from Game Eight with one out, after giving up four straight hits, but avoiding his own.

		In the second stanza Williams continued to wait too long and was being outhustled by Reid whose punches, although a little short, kept flowing and always gave Williams something to think about.

		Looking to re-impose herself, Reid began the fifth still applying pressure, however she had begun to move her head and the ramrod jabs Williams had caught her with in the previous round were not finding their mark with such frequency.
