Summary

This is a PACKED episode. We have a great sit-down interview with Nick Davis, the director and producer of the upcoming documentary on PBS titled Ted Williams: "The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived." We talk the frozen head, the '99 All-Star Game entrance, his poor relationship with his family, what it was like talking with Joey Votto and Bob Costas for the doc, Ted's obsessions with fishing, the pursuit of hitting over .400, competitive relationship with Joe DiMaggio, behind the scenes stories, and which scenes were saved for the bonus features. After the interview we talk a hilarious Ted Williams blooper, why Manny Machado to the Sox is simply stupid, a "hypothetical" discussion on Nolan Arenado coming to Boston, and close it out with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions.
