Who were the 25 greatest hitters in baseball history?

The giants of hitting -- legends like Ruth, Hornsby and DiMaggio -- make everyone's list. But it takes the batting savvy of the last man to hit .400 to make the close calls Aaron and Mays, or determine the differences between a very good and a great hitter. Using satistical information and his personal expertise, Williams provides insights not only into the actual facts of these players' careers but also into their discipline and devotion to the sport they love.

Williams also offers his opinions on the greatest hitters playing today, the pitchers that gave him the most trouble, and the players who should have been much better. Included with Williams' thoughts are photographs, many never published before, of the greatest hitters of all time, including the Splendid Splinter himself. For fans of all ages, Ted Williams' Hit List offers a glimpse into the glorious past and serves as a valuable reminder of what is still great about the "Great American Pastime".
