Ted's Career Baseball Statistics


Ted's Stats taken from the book Hitter


Consider This... Ted Williams lost all or part of five seasons in the prime of his career due to his service as a Marine Corps pilot during World War II and the Korean War. If you have any doubts where the Splendid Splinter should rank in relation to the other great hitters in the history of the game (Ruth, Gehrig, Aaron, Mays, etc.), consider what his career totals might have been were it not for his military service.*

  • 2408 runs batted in (1st, all time)
  • 2407 runs scored (1st, all time)
  • 2731 bases on balls (1st, all time)
  • 678 home runs (3rd, all time) ...and who's to say that coming up just 36 short of Ruth in 1960 wouldn't have motivated Ted to play another year or two.
  • 679 doubles (5th, all time)
  • 3458 hits (6th, all time)
    • *1943-'45 and '52-'53 performances conservatively estimated by averaging the output of the season immediately preceding and immediately following military service as the output for each season missed. Taken from http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Sideline/7287/tedstats.htm
