Williams released from hospital Posted: Monday January 28, 2002 1:21 PMUpdated: Monday January 28, 2002 5:51 PM GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Hall of Famer Ted Williams was released Monday from a hospital, where he was admitted last week with flulike symptoms, including a high fever and low blood pressure. Williams, 83, left around 3 p.m. to return with relatives to his Florida home, Shands Hospital said in a statement. He will continue to require daily at-home kidney dialysis treatment. "Mr. Williams and his family wish to thank everyone for their support and well wishes over the past few days," the statement said. The former Boston Red Sox star, the last player to hit .400 for a season, had been admitted Thursday. Williams has had a series of strokes and had congestive heart failure. He had open-heart surgery in January 2001, two months after receiving a pacemaker. Williams, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Red Sox, has lived in Florida since retiring in 1960. His home is about 50 miles southwest of Gainesville.
