At the TEDx at UMass Boston with State Sec of Education Matthew Malone. Introduced by Chancellor Keith Motley.

Ted Williams knew how to get on base…just like David Ortiz. 

The Kid’s goal: Get on base

 An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: [Ted] Williams’s hitting credo was simple: get a good pitch to hit. Critics said he followed this rule to the extreme by refusing to chase a pitch that was even an inch off the strike zone, thereby hurting his team by having its best hitter often pass up an opportunity to drive a runner home. But Ted made the slippery slope counter-argument: that if he chased a pitch an inch from the plate, it would only encourage pitchers to throw two inches outside the zone, then three inches, and so on. History has vindicated Ted’s approach, as there is now broad acceptance of the value of reaching base, or on-base-percentage, a statistic that was not appreciated and barely even kept in Williams’s day.
