I never saw them so who was better, Ted Williams or Joe Dimaggio?

I am an avid Red Sox fan, but I would give the nod to Joe DiMaggio. Williams was a selfish, self-centered player who was concerned with his own achievements. He was not a team player. Having said that, he also was probably the greatest hitter and student of the game. However, DiMaggio was more well-rounded and was a big time team player. Williams would be right at home today with the overpaid, self-serving athletes we support with our hard-earned money.

Alan Trammell of the Tigers, Tony Gwynn of the Padres, Willie Mays of the Giants, Walter Johnson of the Senators, Carl Yastrzemski of the Red Sox, Hank Aaron of the Braves, George Brett of the Royals, Ty Cobb of the Tigers, Cal Ripken Jr of the Orioles, Warren Spahn of the Braves, Willie Stargell of the Pirates, Robin Yount of the Brewers and Stan Musial of the Cardinals\n\nBob Feller of the Indians and Ted Williams of the Red Sox missed multple years due to war.

I've got to agree with DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak here.\n\nSome fun history about the streak:\n\nGame 57 was against Cleveland, who boasted one of the best defensive third basemen in the game at the time.  DiMaggio was robbed TWICE on backhanded stops down the line and thrown out.\n\nThe day after game 57... DiMaggio started another hitting streak of 26 games.\n\nSo do the math... if one of those hits would have gotten through in game 57... the streak would be 83 games.  That's more than half a season.

D'Angelo Williams is better overall.

I met Ben Stiller.  He was shy and very real.  Very accessable.  I also met Joe Dimaggio.  I love him to bits but I don't think he even looked at me when he shook my hand.  He must have shaked millions of hand so, I was just glad to be one of them.

Ted Williams in 1941. He went into the last day of the season hitting .3995, which would have been rounded up to .400, but told his manager he wanted to play both halves of a double header. He then went out and went 6-8 on the last day of the season to finish at .406. He is the best hitter who ever lived. Period.

I wouldnt completely dismiss frank robinsons defense. Though Clemente had many more gold gloves Robinson had the better feilding percentage at the end of his career. Numbers wise id have to say Frank was a better player but I think Clemente ment so much more to one team and what he did for baseball makes him so much more legendary.

Ruth's last HR was hit off of Guy Bush in Pittsburgh on May 25, 1935, one of three HR he hit that day, in an 11-7 loss to the Pirates (Ruth played for the Boston Braves at this time)\n\nDiMaggio's first HR was hit off of George Turbeville on May 10, 1936, at Yankee Stadium, in a 7-2 victory over the A's.\n\nRuth's HR was hit in a loss. DiMaggio's HR was hit in a win.\nRuth was in the NL, DiMaggio was in the AL. \n\nOther than being hit in the month of May, I don't see what they had in common... what's the answer? Anyone...anyone...

Vernon Davis was the big dude with the dreds. The others I didn't recognize.

Justin Morneau deserved it and won fair and square! I can't see the reasoning that Jeter did better or that he deserved to win it!

I would go with Eddie Kennison and Troy Williams

Ted Williams retired from the Red Sox in 1960. He turned down a contract for $125,000 - a lot of money at the time - to do nothing but pinch-hit for the Yankees in 1961.

I'd have to say Buddy Rich had the better chops, Roach had the staying power and tenacity.  \nRoach by a hair.
