#2 Slightly off-topic, but Ted Williams left baseball twice (WWII and Korea). Imagine what kind of career numbers he might have put up had he not sacrificed.

Bob Feller also left baseball to serve.

#3 I think that Wiliams was John Glenn's or Chuck Yeager's wingman.

#4 these are the REAL warriors. The rest of the players just get paid to act the part for our amusement.

#5 Williams flew with Glenn. Both were in the Marines. He was almost killed at least one time when his jet crash landed in Korea.

Williams missed 5 prime years and may have had a shot at Ruth's home run record had he not done so.

Bob Costas said he was the man that John Wayne played in the movies. I cannot think of a better description.

#7 Also be think Johnny Rutherford, I disliked the man but I'm damn glad he knows how to fly. Be thinking about the Argentine Airforce in the South Atlantic War good drivers make good flyers.

LOL Happy Independence Day!
