About the Book

This full book explores the family background of Baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams -- considered by many to be the greatest hitter who ever lived. With the Anglo surname of Williams, most people had no idea that his maternal grandparents came to America from Mexico until Bill Nowlin followed up on one line in Williams' autobiography where Ted had written, "if I had had my mother's name, there is no doubt I would have run into problems in those days, the prejudices people had in Southern California." As Ben Bradlee Jr. wrote, "No reporter...dug into [Ted Williams'] Mexican heritage until Bill Nowlin explored some of the Venzor family lineage in an article for the Boston Globe Magazine published in June of 2002, a month before Ted died." -- Ben Bradlee, Jr., The Kid: The Immortal Life of Ted WilliamsThe year after Ted Williams died, Bill Nowlin helped organize celebrations of Williams' life at the San Diego Hall of Champions, the Boston Public Library, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. For the San Diego celebration, he invited members of Ted's extended family to attend and 33 of them assembled in Balboa Park outside the Hall of Champions. Interviews with family members, with confirmation from Ted himself, helped build some of the backstory of one of the greatest baseball players -- and of a truly remarkable American family.
