Ted Williams spent his entire baseball career in the spotlight. His talents were undeniable, his commitment unquestionable, and his mark on the game can still be seen today. Despite those facts, though, Ted kept his private life well guarded, making this set of drafts titled "The Man They Called The Kid" so amazing. Compiled to be the basis for a documentary about Ted's life, the trio is broken into three separate parts covering three decades of his life (1936-65). Nearly five hundred pages, in total, detail many of his personal moments, his service hitches in WWII and The Korean War, and comments from various people, both pro and con. Nicknamed "The Bible" by the five researchers who authored it, these three binders are one of a kind items deserving of only the most avid Williams fan. EX+.
