Ted Williams (D. 2002) played his entire 19-year Major League Baseball career as the left fielder for the Boston Red Sox (1939–1942 and 1946–1960). Nicknamed "The Kid", "The Splendid Splinter", "Teddy Ballgame", "The Thumper" and "The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived", Williams is regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. He was a two-time American League Most Valuable Player, six-time batting champion, 17-time All-Star, and a two-time Triple Crown winner. He finished his career with a .344 batting average, 521 home runs, and a .482 on-base percentage, the highest of all time. His batting average is the highest of any MLB player with 302 or more home runs. Williams was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, in his first year of eligibility. He was selected for the Major League Baseball All-Time Team in 1997 and Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999.
