WTF I was thinking the same thing

He didn't decide to keep the ball... He was sleeping with a straw hat covering his face when the ball was hit, it busted through his hat hitting him in the head and the ball was never recovered. Redsox are still trying to recover the ball. Someone grabbed it and never said anything

No one ever will. The renovations to Fenway have made it almost impossible. When Ted did it the grandstands behind home plate were lower and there was an abnormally strong wind blowing out to RF that day that would never have the same effect now with the current stadiums construction.

cuz perfect loops are dumb anyway. All you do is string a sentence from the end to the start, and then immediately have some kind of cut where the loop could’ve been anyway. It’s cool but overused

@vinising

Жыл бұрын

Yep, could've been a perfect

I was in the stands (somewhat up behind 1st base dugout) at Fenway with my dad on the day Ted Williams retired (Sept 1960). Being the ever sportsman that he was in the off season, Ted was presented (at an infield ceremony) with very high end fly fishing rods and shotguns (and probably a $100k a year 20 year SEARS sponsorship). This was also the day his replacement Carl Yazstremski took over Left Field.

In the game "fallout4" the seat is also red in the same stadium

And it’s over in the 42 section what a crazy coincidence 😳

do you know why this sit is red? It's where the longest home run hit and landed at a gentleman's head, this is actually his blood stain.

Personally seen this seat back in 2007, my senior year, and it was memorizing for a small town Texan. Still neat bit of history that I treasure.

im glad that my favorite park has something memorable

First thought: what's this guy doing in diamond city

"You missed a spot." Some kid who never watched this video, probably.

Ayo funny thing is that same damn red seat can be found in Diamond City in Fallout 4

I’ve sat in that seat once when I went there

Minute Made Park, in Houston has an orange seat for the same reason. It's these little things that make baseball worth people's time and attention.

Wow. Longest still to this day. Ted must have knocked the shit out of that ⚾ ball.

Fun fact: the same red seat can be found in the game Fallout 4, which takes place in a post apocalyptic Boston. If you enter the stadium (which is now being used as a settlement) and look carefully into the stands, you can find the red seat.

I saw that at a tour of Fenway "good thing I wasn't standing up" get me every time

Wille Stargell's star at veterans stadium ( demolished) 500 plus feet. The spot that it it was approx 455-460 linear feet from the plate. The 600 section was so high up that the ball would have continued to travel even farther. The projected distance on that particular homer is just over 500 feet. Stargell hit several homers farther than that in the 520-525 foot range

Imagine giving up thousands because it hit you on the head 💀

Is the price of that seat more?

My dad and I took a tour and the tour guide gave us the full story so I’m glad you can get this out

Now that's very cool. Man Ted Williams was a legend

Griffen Jr hit one farther there but didn't get a seat.

How about some visual perspective , pan the camera toward the field

And I thought that was 🎅Santas Seat

I wish I could see the view from there to get a better perspective on the length

It’s crazy that he’s my cousin from my dads side they said he didn’t really talk to family a lot because he thought everyone would ask for money but my grandparents got to go visit with him a few times I need to dig through the family pictures again I love hearing about him!

Why are you such a Grifter?

fenway is so weird

Great topic great presentation.

The man: "fuck no I don't want a nearly priceless ball it hit me in the head"

Imagine getting that seat

Camden Yards has an orange seat representing where Eddie Murray hit career HR number 500! Up until this season there was another orange seat in Left-Center to honor Cal Ripken where his HR surpassed Ernie Banks as a Shortstop. It was taken out when the Orioles expanded the Outfield in Left and Left-Center.

I WAS JUST HERE FOR A TOUR LOL

And... Ted was a San Diego guy! Was a rookie with hometown San Diego Padres in Pacific Coast League, 1936 😁! Years later he would talk hitting with Tony Gwynn! Go Pads!!

That's vary cool I live in Ted's old house and when moving in and cleaning I found a stack of old topps cards of his he autographed. I have no idea why he would sign them unless they were gifts for kids that's all I can come up with but I had them authenticated and teddy ball game signed all of them and down the road it's all houses now but it was a ball field that Ted would play with all the local kids! How cool would that be also found tons of personal photos!

i remember taking a trip here and taking a picture next to it

"So we sailed up to the sun Till we found the sea of green And we lived beneath the waves In our yellow submarine" -Yellow Submarine, Beatles

Wow! What a blast!

That’s ironic because Ted Williams is my great cousin 😂 didn’t get the chance to meet him but my grandmother met him a bunch. Wish I had the pleasure to meet him.

this reminded me of the song “yellow submarine”

I’m a padre fan but I love ted bc he is a north park San Diego kid like me

I did not know this ! Good trivial vid !!

I was just in Fenway stadium last Monday!

Also in Fallout 4, there is a reference to this in Diamond City where you can find a red chair among the green in the stands.

That’s pretty cool, I’ve seen in movies where sports guys who had a set of four or five ballpark seats they have one seat red. That’s pretty cool to know why now.

Plot twist: that’s chair stained with the man’s blood after the hit

Gives new meaning to "the hot seat" lol

My grandpa was at that game. He was sitting a few rows behind that seat.

Today I learned that the road called “Ted Williams” next to me was named after this guy lol

Would've been a neat visual to add by panning from that seat back down to the pitch.

I thought that was the landing spot where Ted Williams last ever HR, in his last at bat landed there - as many marked by the red seat. I saw from the field, as I took the Fenway Field stadium tour.

Painted? That seats a whole different shape haha

*person who got bonked in the head* "Nice, I now have full recollection of what happened that day."

So awesome

Is it bad that I fully expected to be murder that occurred in that seat

thats preety f**king cool… i would LOVE to sit in that one red seat...

Mickey Mantle hit one an estimate 734 ft at Yankee stadium before the technology was available for an exact determination. They used tape measures after the game and measured from home plate to straight away thru exits to outside the ballpark where the ball landed on the first bounce. Ruth’s longest was 574 ft at the stadium.

I went there on a school field trip. I learned that story

I thought he was gonna say "he decided not to sue" instead of "he decided not to keep the ball"

Hey, I visit that seat all the time in fo4

I live is Boston and that a cool thing since baseball is my fav sport

I'm a Dodger fan ... but I luv the rich history @Fenway

He graduated from my High School Herbert Hoover High. In San Diego, CA.

Cool info!

This is the same at the MCG in Melbourne, 1 yellow seat the "Blue" section.

New phrase unlocked in a sea of green chairs be the one red chair

Similar thing at the MCG in Australia except it's a cricket ball 😁

Whoever's sitting in that seat when it decides to finally give up and break is going to be one of the most hated people in baseball history.

I’m a Sox fan and have known about the seat for a long time. That being said, the seat used to be painted red but now that I see this video it looks like they just used a red seat from the home plate area of the ballpark.

Me who sees all the seats black except the red seat: Am I colour blind? Am I blind? Did I die?

Missed opportunity for the perfect loop

Missed opportunity for a great Loop ;)

Me (colorblind): *unable to see the difference

You could've ended it at "it's the only red seat..." so when it replays it would say the first line as the last line

That's why there is a home plate in the Mall of America in Minnesota because of Harmon Killebrew hitting a monster homer

Did the same thing to Harmon Killebrew of the Twins at outdoor Met stadium. Seat is now on the wall at mall of america.
