Q: If Ted Williams were still alive, he could walk up to an active player and say, "I got two hits off that guy one game. How did you do when you faced him?'' To which active player would he be talking and to which pitcher would he be referring?

The player would have to be Julio Franco and the pitcher would have to be Jim "Kitty" Kaat.

The player would have to be Julio Franco and the pitcher would have to be Jim "Kitty" Kaat.

Excellent Job!!! Williams batted against Kaat the final day of the 1959 season and had two hits against him. Kaat walked Franco in 1982 when Julio was a rookie. In other words, there still is an active player who faced a guy who faced Ted. Is that a great bit of trivia or what?
