Ted Williams Still Hopes to Break Slump
Ted Williams, near 41, says he won’t quit and expects to rebound from the worst batting slump of his career. He credits a late spring neck issue and back trouble for slow hitting, explains altered stance and limited head movement, and recalls an early eighth inning homer that boosted Boston past Detroit 10 4 before a Briggs Stadium crowd of 40 085. Williams notes he hit .328 in 1958 and vows he can still hit once physically right.
