Ted Williams

Williams, a 19-time All-Star and a Red Sox lifer, won two AL MVPs and finished in the top-10 on 10 other occasions. He won six AL batting titles and four home run crowns. The scariest thing about Ted Williams' numbers is that he lost three full seasons due to World War II and most of another two seasons due to the Korean War.
