Ted Williams and Kevin Millar.
You don’t often find the two Boston Red Sox lumped in the same breath.
Yet, 50 years after my first byline (April 4, 1966), following 39 opening days covering the Montreal Expos and the Toronto Blue Jays, we have made mistakes, missed the point and backed into ledes.
The two biggest regrets I have writing baseball are: Ted Williams and Kevin Millar.
In 1993, John Olerud was making a run at .400. Attempts to reach Williams fishing on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick were unsuccessful. One night at home, the phone rang.
