"Do you know when I started thinking about the Hall of Fame? It was after my first year in the big leagues. Ted Williams was one of my idols—to me, he and John Wayne are one and the same—and I asked him to sign a ball for me. He took the ball and signed it, 'To a Hall of Famer, for sure.' He knew it, even if I didn't." That ball would certainly make a nice 50th birthday gift to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
