I just recently found out that Williams is half Mexican but kept it hidden

Until late in life due to fear of discrimination. Amazing story. Here is a great podcast episode about it:

‎The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe: Episode 80: How The Game Was Played on Apple Podcasts

‎Saul's nephew kept a secret his entire career - you could do that back then.

Nice! As the article said, from back when the All Star game meant something!

I think Ted Williams is the most interesting baseball player, and possibly American Athlete, ever.

I hate the Red Sox, so I'm not sorry about that. But if I could go back in time, I'd see the summer of 1941.

Yeah, I’ve collected St. Louis Cardinals memorabilia throughout my life.
