Exclusive Excerpt from “The Kid” by Ben Bradlee, Jr.

The Kid appeared in the small room on the night of July 5th, 2002. Video cameras rolled, and the flashbulbs popped – just as if he were making another star turn of the sort he had made so many times throughout his celebrated life.

About 30 people had anxiously awaited the arrival of Ted Williams – the great Teddy Ballgame himself: American icon, last of the .400 hitters, war hero, world class fisherman, enfant terrible with the perfectionist persona. Yet, this was no press conference, no card show, no charity event or meet-and-greet where Ted would wave and say a few words to his faithful.

For he was dead, after all. Quite dead.
