John Updike, 1932 - 2009
"Other than Williams' recurrent appearances at the plate, the maladresse of the Sox infield was the sole focus of suspense; the second baseman turned every grounder into a juggling act, while the shortstop did a breathtaking impersonation of an open window." ("Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu," New Yorker, October 22, 1960)
