About Ted Williams

Almost everyone knows the public Ted Williams: the great hitter, the war hero, the avid outdoorsman and the man who seemed to be a lightning rod for controversy his whole life. Fewer know the very private Ted, and fewer still knew him as well as his friend and confidante of over 30 years, John Underwood.

Friendship and Adventures

From vacations off the Florida Keys, to African Safaris to the beaches of Costa Rica, Underwood and Williams vacationed together and got to know each as close personal friends.

Insights and Personal Stories

Underwood draws on both his private recordings with Williams—the audio CD contains candor from Williams about a wide variety of subjects that no baseball fan has heard before—and his personal experiences to craft a book about what he learned from his friendship.

Book Highlights

Reminiscent of bestseller Tuesdays With Morrie, It''s Only Me allows the private side of Williams to educate and entertain baseball fans more than they ever imagined before.
