Didn't know that. Did you know that Bruce Lee was 1/4 German?
He wasn't half-Mexican. Even the ever unreliable Wikipedia doesn't say this:
His paternal ancestors were a mix of Welsh and Irish and his maternal ancestors were of Mexican descent with some Basque roots.[4][5][6][7] Through his Mexican side he is related to Mexican Revolutionary General Pascual Orozco and in turn Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor.[citation needed]
just because he his ancestors were basque doesn't mean they weren't Mexican.
a lot of Mexicans have European roots.
Agreed. He is half Mexican because his maternal ancestors were from Mexico. A country. People who live in the country of Mexico are Mexican.
Since his paternal ancestors are Welsh and Irish, does it mean he was not American?
that's nice to know but records set during the Jim Crow Era are universally null and void anyways. in fact the whole MLB was really the White Minor League.
Did you know Williams put one out on his last MLeague at-bat? That's high-stepping whether you're German, Irish, Mexican, or Jew. Senior Williams might even differ with me not that it would make it untrue.
What the hell is a Senior Williams?
Did I cross-streams with my racial/generational stereotypes or did I forget an n-yay? F***, and I'm from a border state. Ballgame could hit, n-yay that. And I could give a crap about the Sox.
"Did you know that Ted Williams was half Mexican?"
Yes, I did know that. There was a bit of a to-do, a while back, when someone was putting together an all-Hispanic team and didn't include Teddy Ballgame or Reggie (Reginald Martinez) Jackson.

Get over it. Williams was a great player. It is shameful that blacks were excluded.

Hillel House continues their mandated internet monitoring and trolling. Do you get to lick Abe Foxman's balls as a reward?
did you know that Barack Obama is 72% gay?
it says so somewhere on the internet.
Ted didn't play in the Negro Leagues which is where the best baseball was played. He would have not done as well playing with the best.
Dang! No wonder he was so good!
Ted played in the White AA Leagues. He could have played in the Negro Leagues, as they had many non-First Civilization players. But Ted wimped out and decided to stay in gthe White leagues.
Hmmm, surprised he wasn't the stolen base leader then instead of being known for doing something on a consistant basis.

If an internet phrase is not picked up by search engines is it truly on the internet?

How is that possible? Wasn't he gainfully employed for more than 2 weeks?
