George Kell
I need some argument defense?
Ted Williams was one of the greatest of all time right? Well I look up to him but my mfing father likes to say shit like oh, he cant hit, George Kell stole a batting title from him, etc. What are some things I can say, becuase I kinda look up to my heores as father figures (surragates)
Ask him why George Kell couldn't steal any of Ted Williams 6 OTHER BATTING CROWNS. Ask your father how many more Williams would have won if he didn't leave the major leagues for 5 seasons in the prime of his career to serve his country in WW II and Korea. Ask him how many other players can say that they won a batting title 17 years after they won their first.
What alot of people don't realize is that Ted Williams was widely disliked by the fans and reporters. He was always very confrontational with the media and he had a bad reputation. Much the same way Barry Bonds does today (Not the steroids, but the fact he's a jerk) So if your dad grew up when Williams played it's very likely that he dislikes him personally, so he tries to discredit the statistical acheivements. Williams refused to take a curtain call after he hit a home run on the last at bat of his career because the fans had booed him as a rookie, over 20 years earlier.
Oh, yeah. And you might want to point out that the year Kell supposedly stole the batting title, Williams was still the American League MVP. That year Kell hit .3429 and Williams hit .3427. If Kell hadn't beat him by 2 10,00ths of a point, Williams would have won his 3rd Triple Crown. Yes, you know the thing they say will never be done again, leading the league in HR, RBI and Ave. Williams did it twice and would have done it three times if not for the fact that Kell went 2-3 on the last day of the season and Williams when 0-2.
Try some of that on your dad.
