...eyesights ever even if he wasn't in baseball?
I heard 20/10 or even 20/5, which made it into Guinness I recall...but is that really an "eagle eye" that Williams had, or was he one of the best visions ever?

I read once that he had 20/10 vision. He had great bat speed. He was perfectly suited to be a hitter in baseball. If they had instituted the DH a few years earlier, he might have played another 4 or 5 years.

It was really about his ability to follow the pitches and react quickly. Naturally he was not blind but he also may not have had really great 20/20 vision either. He just had great timing and studied
hitting so he could become a great hitter. He even asked one of golf's greatest player, Ben Hogan why he could not score under par in every round he played.
