Ted loved to cruise around

An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”:

Ted couldn’t afford his own car as a kid, but loved to cruise around San Diego with those who did have wheels. Bill Skelley, a teammate of Ted’s on the 1937 Padres, had a 1929 maroon Chrysler roadster, and they’d glide down Broadway with the top down, or zip through Balboa Park. When they passed a golf course, and someone was getting ready to tee off, Ted would reach over and honk the horn to try and disrupt the golfer. “Just fooling around,” Skelley says.

Girls? Forget it. “I never went out with girls, never had any dates, not until I was much more mature-looking,” Ted wrote in his autobiography. “A girl looked at me twice, I’d run the other way.”
