"A glorious tribute to a baseball legend and a complicated human
being." --School Library Journal
Ted Williams was an ordinary kid who wanted one thing: to hit a baseball
better than anyone else. So he practiced his swing every chance he got.
And then practiced it some more. From his days playing ball in North
Park as a kid to his unmatched .406 season in 1941 to his stints as a
fighter pilot in World War II and Korea, the story of Teddy Ballgame is
the story of an American hero.
