Riassunto

Recensione:

“It is unlikely that any reader could view Ted Williams as just a ballplayer ever again.” — New York Times Book Review
 
“Exceptional.  Montville on Ted Williams is can’t-miss, one of America’s best sportswriters weighing in on one of the last century’s most intriguing figures.  A great read.” —Chicago Tribune
 
“Leigh Montville reaches a threshold even the mighty Williams could never touch:  perfection. The beauty of Montville’s work is that it is not a baseball book, per se, so much as the life and times of an oft perplexing, always fascinating man.” —Newsday
 
“A comprehensive look at a gargantuan life.” —People
