Ted Williams, the Chapel Hill Cloudbusters and a forgotten summer of baseball

Ted Williams stepped out of the batter's box and took a few steps toward the mound. Then, he looked the Norfolk Airmen pitcher right in the eyes and made a bold prediction. "You put it across the plate," Williams said, "and I'm going to put it up on top of that building over yonder." Williams, an All-Star with the Boston Red Sox, had pointed toward Lenoir Hall in the middle of the UNC campus. (WRAL Sports Fan)
