Which is a good thing. He can't see how Corrupt Joe Biden has destroyed our country. Ted could have probably hit .300 though without a head.@@Boogie-oogie420x
He missed 3 yesterday ww2. And 2 in Korea he finished. With 521 hrs. He would have had close to 700hr. Those three years he missed In his early to mid 20s. We can only imagine. Same for Dimaggio. Same for Bob Feller. They were American Icons.. Heros.😊
And the last manager of The Washington Senators...also the first manager of the Texas Rangers..since the Senators moved to Dallas and became the Rangers
Years ago , my Dad sat next to Ted on a cross country flight from Boston to Houston . My Dad was military , wearing his uniform , and said Ted struck up a conversation that lasted the entire flight , and couldn’t have been nicer . Ted even invited him to visit if down in Florida . Ted and my Dad kept up the acquaintance for several years , all based on their mutual military experiences . Ted Williams was the REAL John Wayne .
@@MJIZZELgreatest hitter. His interest was singular and fixated on hitting. All around ball player probably Mays or DiMaggio. And that’s Teddy Ballgame’s opinion.
@@brandoa330 yeah I'll agree on that. I should've clarified greatest hitter. Imo Griffen Jr is also in that class of greatest all around. I went back and looked at williams career recently and the guy was incredible at hitting. If not for the wars he would've had 700 hrs and the walk record. 3k hits also.
How awesome is it to get an unexpected complement from Ted Williams as a drummer. Max Weinberg will remember this for the rest of his life. Ted Williams is a real American icon. RIP 3/13/24, 6:41 p.m.
I had breakfast with Mr. Williams AND Smokey Joe Woods brother at the same time in Keene NH. Then went fly fishing with a Ted for 2hrs. Simply a Great man...i was blessed...
Ted was my favorite baseball player growing up & still to this day at 57yrs old. In the 90s I got to meet him at Bob Feller's museum in Van Meter, IA (where Bob was from) and he was just so kind and warm to me I didnt want to stop talking to him (as a young Black man I'm sure there were some looks of surprise by the older White peeps there, but I cldnt have cared less, I was having a never-thought-it-could-happen moment!). The only other athlete I wntd to meet was Ali. So I got 50% of my bucket list, not bad! Lol
Who the F cares whatever the white people thought. Willams was just a gentleman. A true hero. BTW, I'm white. Good for you, talked with a baseball legend.
What a character. He's got a bit of the laconic John Wayne manner about him. He's very aware of that, and confident of his stature. Notice he doesn't look at his host except occasionally. He knows exactly who he, himself is; a legend. Ted Williams, the last .400 hitter.
How can anyone not like Ted Williams? Fabulous hitter and war hero. I'm sure his style of not facing Conan wasn't meant to insult him, rather to face the studio audience and broadcasting cameras. Still, I prefer the grace, dignity and humility of Hank Aaron or Stan Musial when they interacted with others. Ted had little room for anything other than the utmost loyalty and seemed ultra-sensitive when he was challenged. I wish he could have further reduced his intolerance as he aged, he was such a grand fellow; he might have let in even more affection from the many who loved him...
You'll notice from this interview and others that Ted Williams was always quick to praise other people for their talents, no matter what they were. In this interview, it was John Glenn, as well as Conan and Nax. He more than once said Joe Dimaggio was the best all-around baseball player he ever saw.
I'm about Conan's age. If you were a kid in New England in the 1970s, Ted Williams was somebody you heard talked about all the time, and you grew up knowing you had missed something special.
I saw this interview when it aired and I remember Ted Williams had another cool story he told about hitting a baseball but for some reason they didn't include it here. I wish they would post the interview in it's entirety. 🙏 Man, Conan, that must've been a thrill of a lifetime to talk to Ted Williams on Late Night. What an amazing life you've led. 💫
I am 79 and I believe that Ted Williams was and is the greatest hitter of all time . Check out his swing in slow motion . His body design , his concentration with eye on the ball , technique and more , allowed and made possible an absolute product of artful picture of design . A true work of art ! true gentleman ! A true human being ! A true American ! There will only be one Ted Williams , but it would be nice to see more people more like him ! Bless this man’s heart and Ted , you will never be forgotten ! Stu Kurland , Modesto , Ca.
He was youthful for 79, you'd never think he'd be gone 4 years later. I wish I could have met a few of the baseball greats that were around in my time, Seinfeld made me think Joe DiMaggio was reclusive (he signed autos for $5-10 in the early 90's.)
I forgot about Ted’s service in the Korean War in 1952-53. Taking into account his total years in military service (including WW2), Williams’ age factor, and also a slightly greater tendency to get injured before his Korean War service, one statistical calculation shows him being robbed of 171 more home runs during all those military years. But it is all mere speculation. Nobody knows for sure. All we know is that the game of Baseball is great to this day because of players like Ted Williams.
Ted Williams was not only the greatest hitter in the game but he was the very first manager of the newly formed Texas Rangers in 1972. That was an exciting summer for all Baseball fans in the Dallas, Fort Worth metroplex and all of North Texas because Major League baseball had finally arrived. The Rangers weren't that good in 72 but it gave the fans an opportunity to go see the Yankees, Redsox, Orioles and the Dynasty of that Era, The Okland A's. Catfish Hunter and Reggie Jackson and of course Ted Williams. To be able to go to old Arlington Stadium and see these players and Teams and others as well as the Managers and not have to watch them on TV at home on a Summer Night was worth the price of admission. I bought my first Shotgun ( 12 g ) 1 year later right out of High school. it had Ted Williams name on it. I'm 69 now, I was a little dumb in my younger days and I sold that gun. I wish now I had kept it.
Missed the best years of his baseball career in WWII and the Korean war. I've watched the highlight films of him and he had the most beautiful baseball swing there ever was.
My grandfather who is 86 years old has a hand written letter from Ted Williams from when he was a kid . He wrote down where some good fly fishing spots were and who to talk to to get the best gear. He got it authenticated decades ago, and it’s one of his most prized possessions.
Williams was half Mexican-American but had to hide that fact when he was younger or else he may have never made it. He was a very interesting guy - mastering three fields in his life - baseball, aviation, and fly fishing. I wonder where his head is.
He was already a star, fact a superstar at 23. Were they going to kick him off, with all that talent ? He embarrassed his people by dismissing them . Disrespecting his race
@@mariocisneros911 Yeah they actually could've, this was before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. However, they may have made an exception because he passed for white and white Latinos like Dolf Luque had already played in the MLB. Regardless, I can imagine Ted didn't want to take any chances for better or worse.
@@andypritchard9644 The color line didn't have anything to do with Latinos at all, & I'm sure Williams never hid his race. That's all straight up baloney (IMHO).
Wow! That was special!! What a great interview! This man was one of my Dad’s heroes!! My Dad bumped into him in a hotel lobby back in the 50s and had a low-key 15 minute conversation with him about zoology! (which my Dad was studying at the time). What a fascinating man.
I was always a Yankee fan and Joe Di Maggio was my favoriite player,but deep down inside I knew, but woulDnt admit to anyone Ted Williams was the best.
Ted William's 20 - 10 eyesight was redused to legally blind in his late 70's til his death. It was difficult for Ted to see Conan and the audience, let Alone to shaking Conan's hand
The same question to you as the person above, do you mean Marion Robert Morrison, the guy that had to change his name, so he could play "heros" in the movies?
I saw him one time, I worked at Shands Hospital in Gainesville Florida and I was in back of the hospital taking a smoke break there was a parking area, I think it was his grandson driving him,Ted Williams looked right at me and said those things will kill you I just smiled I didn’t know who he was later my friend said that’s Ted Williams
.219 Zipper was a FANTASTIC varmint cartridge. There are better now, but it's a classic that is still used quite a bit. I prefer .222 Remington, .220 Swift, .221 Fireball, .22K Hornet, .22-250 Ackley. Ted IS the embodiment of everything an American man should aspire to be, and an American woman should want - with the exception of, by is own admission, being a bad father. He worked to change that from about 1970 on to the rest of his life. But while playing baseball he put that ahead of his family, wife, children. The only thing he put above baseball was the love of his country. He had flaws - that's what made him great.
Imagine being a star athlete with plenty of money, but choosing to face war....then surviving, making more money, becoming a bigger star...and again...choosing to face war a 2nd time. This man as the EMBODIMENT of "the greatest generation".
a god...the dude was a god, walking among us common folk. Im talking about the baseball player and baseball ambassador, after he retired. And you can tell, just from this sit-down, he was a rough-around-the-edges-dude, but he had a warm heart...and it was sincere. When you hear the late, great Buck O'Neil (negro league ambassador and former player and manager) say that Ted Williams was the greatest hitter of all time, you believe him, when you consider all the incredible players he saw playing in the 'black league' before the game was integrated. Pull up Ted's stats on baseball reference, and look at his career OPS...look at how few times he struck out a season, up against how many homers he hit. I think he had one season in his entire career, where his OBP, was below .400 (.357).
Little known fact he is Mexican- American!!! Which they don't teach us that. Me being Mexican American it's awesome to see the greatest hitter of all time represent our culture!!!
So I'm working at Nickelodeon and he pulls up to the security gate and I recognize him right away. He was kind enough to autograph something for me, but I don't remember what he was there for something to do with Nickelodeon studios

Ted was a REAL LIFE John Wayne movie character. Bigger than life.

And now he doesn't even have a head
Which is a good thing. He can't see how Corrupt Joe Biden has destroyed our country.
Ted could have probably hit .300 though without a head.@@Boogie-oogie420x
he exudes an aura of "don't ever try to F with me"
That's a great way to describe it. Well said.@@wolfie71231
This dude fought in multiple wars and still was a hall of famer
He missed 3 yesterday ww2. And 2 in Korea he finished. With 521 hrs. He would have had close to 700hr. Those three years he missed In his early to mid 20s. We can only imagine. Same for Dimaggio. Same for Bob Feller. They were American Icons.. Heros.😊
Not yesterday I meant years
Multiple hall of farmer he's in the fishing hof too
And the last manager of The Washington Senators...also the first manager of the Texas Rangers..since the Senators moved to Dallas and became the Rangers
He fought in one war. He played military baseball and instructed in WWII.

Ted Williams & John Glenn in the sky together, a true Top Gun duo.
I agree
Like Iceman and Maverick!
Fought in two wars and still the greatest hitter of all time
Except for Babe Ruth
@@Pronzini1Thank you !
Think about how many more homers and RBI's he would have had. He ended up with 521 homers. He would have had close to 700 if he didn't serve.
I agree with he stats.prove it plus 5 years of his prime list due to military service in two wars
@@Pronzini1 ~ Teds all around #s were better. Homers were the only thing. And he would have shattered Ruths records were it not for the war.
The greatest hitter who ever lived.
Greatest baseball player ever.
@@MJIZZELgreatest hitter. His interest was singular and fixated on hitting. All around ball player probably Mays or DiMaggio. And that’s Teddy Ballgame’s opinion.
@@brandoa330 yeah I'll agree on that. I should've clarified greatest hitter. Imo Griffen Jr is also in that class of greatest all around.
I went back and looked at williams career recently and the guy was incredible at hitting. If not for the wars he would've had 700 hrs and the walk record. 3k hits also.
@@MJIZZELoh yeah his hitting ability was otherworldly. He paid little attention to how the wars affected his career because it affected everyone.
@@brandoa330 I would give greatest ballplayer to Ruth. He was a topnotch pitcher in addition to being a great slugger.

@@roncaruso931
🤣That's EXACTLY what I was thinking at the time! I was enjoying the moment, it was for me only!
Ted Williams = GOAT of all hitters in baseball. Period. End of Story.

Ted was the real deal...Wayne not as much
Teddy ballgame , the splendid splinter, you want to talk about great Americans, Ted is a poster board for what a true American is. A GREAT MAN!
Well said
So glad this interview happened. He passed away 4 years later. I had a Ted Williams shotgun from Sears as a kid in the late 70s. Wish I still had it.
Greatest hitter ever period. Had it not been for his military service he would have had around 650 career homers.
611 home runs and 3200 hits
They just ain't making men like Ted anymore. A true American hero and legend.
Best MLB hitter ever imo. Absolute stud
Missed 5 career years to military service 3 when he was in his prime still hit 521 home runs!!
Those 5 years lost is a great if
Looks like 3 based off baseball reference..
He would have had perhaps had 600 hundred to 700.. And surely would have gotten to 3,000 hits.
Should've been the GOAT
@@Xdawgs1118 3 in ww2 almost 2 full seasons for Korean War. Barely got to play a few games in those 2 years.

Legend, hero, & patriot...
There are legends then there is ted williams, red sox fan
Ted would have reached 600 homers, 2,000 RBI, and 3,000 hits easily if not for his military service❗️
yep
They put up a statue of him at Polar Park
I agree
More like 800 homers, he retired with 521 and lost 5 years of playing and part of the 6th year because of his plane crash in the war.

Missed the best years of his baseball career in WWII and the Korean war. I've watched the highlight films of him and he had the most beautiful baseball swing there ever was.
I am a life long SF Giants fan and consider Willie Mays the greatest players I ever saw; but "Teddy Ballgame" was the GOAT for most older Americans.

Definitely
I've never seen this interview. Outstanding....

Am I the only one that wishes they'd come out with full episodes?
No
Nope
No this was an absolute snoozefest what a boring interview I don’t know how Conan did t fall asleep
Conan must have been thrilled ! I would be !
I bet he would have been more thrilled if he made eye contact with Conan instead of staring off. What the heck?
Mr Williams I love the respect

Christ Ted's last at bat was a home run at the age of 41!
Legend
@@seanohare5488 He was and in his HoF speech he lobbied for Negro League players to be admitted to the hall.

Am I the only one that, while watching this, said, "Conan just shut up and let Ted Williams talk!!" No wonder NBC fired you!
Me too
Conan was uncool there he was talking to a baseball great butting in a low class way
I disagree. I think Ted was disrespectful - staring off with little eye contact. Was he mad at Conan? If so, he shouldn't have been Conan's guest.
Ted William's 20 - 10 eyesight was redused to legally blind in his late 70's til his death. It was difficult for Ted to see Conan and the audience, let Alone to shaking Conan's hand

Teddy Ballgame!
Way to go max!
Ted is the man
If I had a time machine, Ted would be one guy I would love to have a cup of coffee and talk baseball with. I would invite Joe D.

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE.
I will never forget your holy sacrifice forever.
I am a Korean living in southKorea
Awesome man. The GOAT.
Legend!
Now THAT'S a story Max Weinberg can tell forever!!
A REAL LEGEND
I agree
The greatest pilot besides best hitter period
.219 Zipper was a FANTASTIC varmint cartridge. There are better now, but it's a classic that is still used quite a bit. I prefer .222 Remington, .220 Swift, .221 Fireball, .22K Hornet, .22-250 Ackley.
Ted IS the embodiment of everything an American man should aspire to be, and an American woman should want - with the exception of, by is own admission, being a bad father.

An American hero we will never see the likes of again. Ted was a real man's man. John Glenn had to be someone very special to be Ted Williams' hero.
The John Wayne of baseball.
Do you mean Marion Robert Morrison, the guy that had to change his name so he could play movie "heros"?
True
Ted is the real hero, John Wayne never served.
Great Player and man
Truth is stranger than fiction...best hitter of all time and Navy pilot war hero...thats somewhat of a combo

Teddy Ballgame, The Best There Ever Was
No movies about this great Man because he’s not a scumbag so we can’t make any type of cool movies for him to celebrate what a great person he was
He was the real deal .
True American Hero!
What a cool cat. A great American.
The best
A real man from the age of real men! There will only ever be one Mr.Ted Williams-and no one will ever reach his level!!!
So, he’s about 80 in this interview. Seems like he was in great shape!
gem
a god...the dude was a god, walking among us common folk. Im talking about the baseball player and baseball ambassador, after he retired. And you can tell, just from this sit-down, he was a rough-around-the-edges-dude, but he had a warm heart...and it was sincere.

Deniro could play Teddy Baseball if they ever did a movie! 😅
Depicting Williams' cryogenics era, I suppose.
I love knowing that Teddy fukin Ballgame, the greatest hitter of all time is from my hometown of San Diego!
A TRUE AMERICAN HERO ...
First few minutes, Ted isn't even looking at Conan. I guess he's looking at the monitor?
Take his extra base hits divided by his hits and try to top him with anyone!
They say he was the greatest hitter who ever lived. I never saw him play, I was 8 when he retired in 1960.
That drummer never forgot that compliment I'm sure.
That Drummer is Mighty Max Weinberg of the E Street Band.
"that drummer", funny
