Williams Eyes 400 Mark Seeks 38th Birthday Comeback
Boston slugger Ted Williams, nearing age 39, believes he can still hit 400. He cites legs, breaks, and a strong year as key factors while reflecting on a 390 peak before the All Star break and a 369 finish the previous season. Williams notes his 33 hits since the break include 10 homers in 72 at bats. Charleston opens three day series with Omaha Cardinals led by Bob Mabe and Bob Shaw as Minneapolis recaps a two run win in the previous game.
