    • Synopsis
    • As a ballplayer, Ted Williams is known for being the greatest hitter of all time, and the last player to bat .400. But read the footnotes: he was Hispanic but told to keep his heritage quiet. He fought for civil rights throughout his career, a voice for players of color before the game had been integrated. He was a war hero, missing the better part of five seasons to serve his country. And he fought a protracted battle with the press, who felt an American icon should be deferential and keep his mouth shut. Part complicated character study and part love-letter to baseball and Boston, SPLINTER shows that one man can be a story’s hero and villain at the same time.
