In his first MLB game, Ted Williams hit a 400-foot double in four at-bats as the Boston Red Sox lost, 2-0, to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The 20-year-old Williams will lead the circuit with 145 RBI that season and boast a. 327 batting average. His average will not be below that mark until 1950.
