A first-person account from off the beaten track, as told to Anne Ford.
“Ted Williams was a handsome man; that’s why he pops up in my art a lot. He was crazier than all get-go. He had a foul mouth. Oh, man, he had a potty mouth. He was probably a borderline personality. But he was a really good baseball player, and he was really handsome. He was really obsessed with hitting. Lousy in the outfield. He couldn’t catch a ball for the life of him. Reminded me of some of the Cubs. You know, like Alfonso Soriano, who’s a great hitter, but if a ball came his way, it’d hit him on the head before he’d catch up.
