Thread Name: Did Ted Williams inspire any folk songs?
Subject: Did Ted Williams inspire any folk songs?
Did Ted Williams inspire any folk songs? I know Bob Dylan immortalized the late Catfish Hunter with his song "Catfish". Certainly Paul Simon's brilliant "Where Have You Gone, Joe Dimaggio" lyric resonates in everybody's head for all eternity. There was a great number called "Willie, Mickey, and The Duke" that came out a few years ago.

Did ol' Teddy Ballgame ever inspire the folksinger's muse?
