 12. Ted Williams It is said, with only a touch of hyperbole, that Number Nine is the only person to have been the best in the world at three things. Ted's trifecta: casting a fly rod, flying a plane and hitting a baseball. He grew, in public, from the Kid to the Splendid Splinter to Teddy Ballgame and, astoundingly, has evolved yet further into the beloved old man of baseball. The last man to hit .400 and to argue 1.000.
