Ted Williams aims for 1958 bold targets at 37
Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox legend, eyes four goals for 1958: at least 125 games, 100 RBIs, 30 homers, and a fifth batting title. He, 37, notes aging has slowed him though he still hit .356 in 98 games last season and believes a strong, healthy year could yield a .380 average with 30 homers.
