I didn't mean to begrudge the idolization of Teddy. I don't recall the Senators being a great hitting team, but you're right about guys like Frank Howard, Mike Epstein and Ken McMullen, all had good power numbers and Howard 48 HR, 111 RBI. They did win 86 games and TW was Manager of the Year. After that, not so much, but Ted's batting eyes and knowledge of hitting was tremendous. Ted might have been a terrific overall batting coach for many seasons if that's what he chose to do. The overall is he managed a few epic bad teams after that '69 season. Greatest hitter of all time, though.
