re: How would Ted Williams do in today's game?

He once told a former pitcher that he could actually see exactly where the bat was making contact with the ball. The pitcher didn't believe him so they went to a park and the pitcher threw his best stuff for Williams to hit. Williams lathered up his bat extra heavy with pine tar and when he made contact with a pitch he told the pitcher one seam, two seams, or no seams. The pitcher would then get the ball and look where the pine tar was on the ball. William's hit ten pitches and called every one correctly. I don't think a 92 mph slider would cause him any problems.
