I recently came across a classic F*BOSTON moment involving the great Ted Williams and an incident that occurred in a game at Fenway Park against the rival New York Yankees on August 7, 1956. After dropping an easy fly ball, Williams was booed heavily by the Boston fans. Upon his return to the dugout, Williams retaliated by spitting into the faces of Red Sox fans sitting over the dugout. Now that is pure class, what a reaction from Boston’s much beloved Splendid Splinter himself, Ted Williams. But if the act itself wasn’t classic enough, his comments to the Boston Herald may have been even better, “I’m not a bit sorry for what I did. I was right and I’d spit again at those booing bastards. Some of them are the worst in the world. Nobody’s going to stop me from spitting.” Preach on Ted Williams, I’ve never had so much respect for man with Red Sox.
