If you don't know who Ted Williams is, he is a Hall of Fame baseball player who played for the Boston Red Sox from 1939-1942 and 1946-1960 (those missed years were due to military service).  Here are some of his career achievements:

• .344 Career Batting Average (T-6th All-Time)

• 1966 Hall of Fame Inductee
• 39 Successful Combat Missions Flown as Naval Aviator
• Member of the International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame

Wait, what?!?  International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame?  That's right, after Ted Williams retired from baseball, he decided that he would master another skill and became a deep sea fisherman.  He got so good at it that he was inducted into the International Game Fish Hall of Fame.  That dude was a badass.  Oh, and on top of that, he was shot down and survived a crash while flying during World War II.  Bad.  Ass.

"No wonder he made the Fishing Hall of Fame, he fished in such a tiny boat."
