Jay Sawyer of Northbrook feels that no one was ever better at hitting a baseball than Ted Williams. Highlighting Ted Williams’ staggering numbers, Jay says that the legend had the career on-base percentage of .483. He had the highest slugging percentage in the 1940s and the 1950s. One of the things that make this achievement so much more special is the fact that no other player has ever led in that category for consecutive decades. Williams led the American League in slugging and on-base percentage in the same season 8 times, including 6 years in a row. He won 6 batting titles, 4 home runs crowns, 2 MVPs, and 2 Triple Crowns. His 1941, ’42 & ’46 seasons are counted amongst the 10 best in the history of baseball.
