Ted Williams (2009): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2009, Ted Williams is a documental film directed by Aaron Cohen, running about 75 minutes. “There Goes the Greatest Hitter That Ever Lived” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Born in 1918 in San Diego, Williams was a latchkey child from a broken home, raised by a mother more dedicated to the Salvation Army than to her two sons, and by a father who spent more time away from home than in it. Williams found salvation by doing the one thing he loved most: hitting baseballs. In his rookie season with the Red Sox, where he would spend his entire career as a player, Williams batted .327, socked 31 homers and led the league with 145 RBI. Over the next 21 years, despite losing five seasons of his prime to active service as a U.S. Marine Corps pilot, Williams hit 521 home runs, twice captured the Triple Crown, and became the oldest man ever to win a batting title. He finished his career with a .344 lifetime batting average, was the last man to hit over .400 in a full season, batting .406 in 1941, and was a first-ballot inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Who’s in it. Ted Williams stars Claudia Williams as Herself, Robert Redford as Himself, Liev Schreiber as Narrator and Ted Williams as Himself.
