Review: The Wingmen: The Unlikely, Unusual, Unbreakable Friendship Between John Glenn and Ted Williams by Adam Lazarus
www.theskippersview.com
During my high school years, I stumbled upon “The Kid” by Ben Bradlee Jr., a biography that immortalized Ted Williams, the Red Sox legend. As an ardent Red Sox supporter, I was already aware of Williams' extraordinary talents. In my eyes, he stands as the greatest hitter in baseball history, and one of the top five players ever to grace the game. My admiration for him is amplified when I consider the years he sacrificed for military service during World War II and the Korean War. Reading Bradlee's book cemented my affection for Williams, particularly the emotional accounts of his hospital visits and his brusque exterior hiding a deeply compassionate nature. I even have a cherished photograph of myself beside Williams’ statue at Fenway Park—a younger version of me, wide-eyed and in awe.
