Richard Ben Cramer, Pulitzer Prize winner and acclaimed biographer of Joe DiMaggio, decodes this oversized icon who dominated the game and finds not just a great player, but also a great man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1986, Richard Ben Cramer spent months on a profile of Ted Williams, and the result was the \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e article that has been acclaimed ever since as one of the finest pieces of sports reporting ever written. Given special acknowledgment in \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Sportswriting of the Century\u003c\/i\u003e and adapted for a coffee-table book called \u003ci\u003eTed Williams: The Seasons of the Kid, \u003c\/i\u003e the original piece is now available in this special edition, with new material about Williams's later years. While his decades after Fenway Park were out of the spotlight -- the way Ted preferred it -- they were arguably his richest, as he loved and inspired his family, his fans, the players, and the game itself. This is a remembrance for the ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451643404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Ben Cramer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36651378475164,"sku":"9781451643404","price":9.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0373d753-3fad-4ecd-b4cd-5f97d061efce.jpg?v=1603877527","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-do-you-think-of-ted-williams-now-a-remembrance-9781451643404","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
