While still enrolled in high school, Williams made his
professional baseball debut in the minor leagues with the San Diego Padres of
the Pacific Coast League. He finished the year with an imposing .271 batting average
(without a home run) in only 42 games. In '36, Eddie Collins, Red Sox General
Manager, makes a rare scouting trip to San Diego to see Bobby Doerr and George
Myatt, but is most impressed with Ted's swing. The Red Sox pick up the option
on Williams.
