It is easy to be awestruck with the particulars of Ted’s phenomenal baseball career; after all, he is baseball’s greatest hitter. Ted’s remarkable feats in baseball, however, were but one portion of his magical life. Ted was also an accomplished Marine fighter pilot, fisherman, hunter, instructor, author, and yes, even a product pitchman. Many of us never saw Ted play ball, but some of us were fortunate to have got¬ ten to know this legendary Renaissance Man after his playing days were over. While he was physically able, Ted liked coming to Boston to see his friends, participate in special Red Sox events, attend award functions and of course visit the children at Ted with teammates and good friends Johnny Dana-Farber. Pesky and Dorn DiMaggio in 1946. There was always an aura of specialness around Ted. He was a fascinating man who was larger than life with a crackling wit, an icon. His eyes perpetually twinkled as he loquaciously shared his knowledge and stories. He was a rugged individualist who lustily grabbed life by the horns, a true perfectionist in everything he attempted. Ted inspired us to strive for success because of course with Ted, failure was not O HI an option. We were charmed by him. We were in awe of him. We were humbled _i O_i o when he tapped into his overflowing wellspring of genuine caring and support for > the Jimmy Fund kids. We love you Ted. And we miss you already. ■ DC < UJ tr CD JSmi The first Red Sox player to hit three home runs in a game at Fenway Park, Ted did so on July 14, Photographers line up to snap the imposing star. 1946 vs. the Indians. 2002 Red Sox Magazine t I • Giving the thumbs up, Ted was ordered to report to active duty with the Marine Corps in 1944 His penchant for talking to children was unparalleled.
