Testimonials
Posted on January 26th, 2012
“We were worried about our 14-year-old son staying overnight. He loved it and learned more in a week than he had in all his playing years.”
“I don’t know much about baseball, but I know my son improved and loved the program. The cabins were brand new, the food was good, and the staff is into it. Great program.”
“I’m 15 and wanted to stay at a camp. My dad and I looked at a few programs but none had Steve Ferroli’s credentials. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun.”

My Times With Ted
Posted on June 7th, 2009
It was a great honor to have this man as a friend. I spent lots of time around Ted Williams over the years and was able to know him in ways you don’t read in books. For example: nobody really talks about how funny he was. He had a great sense of humor. I thought here at the camp site and also on the Ted Williams League website I might be able to bring a smile to someones face with some stories of my times with Ted. So here is my first time with Ted…
I’m 8 years old on the streets of Boston throwing balls up and down the hot summer asphalt with my older brother Rick. We used to play in the school yards and a place called the Blakey. Which was a patch of grass big enough for little kids to play pick up baseball. It featured (and still does) a statue of William Blake from Dorchester, Massachusetts who fought bravely in the Cival War. William Blake later was very helpful and admired in politics.
I didn’t like baseball that much then it was too slow. I would much rather climb stuff and ride my bike. But Rick liked it and was always recruiting me for games with his friends. To make along story short I went to Sears & Roebuck with my parents who were shopping. Rick and I went off to the sporting goods department and started looking at stuff to kill time. I remember seeing Ted’s signature on everything bats, gloves, balls, tents, weights, fishing stuff and hunting stuff too. I remember asking my brother who Ted Williams was? I had no idea who Ted Williams was! Ted Williams was completely off my radar.
Rick’s response (though I can not remember it exactly) was that I was stupid and that I smell. (This was Rick’s response to most my questions.)
Today I have a saying… there is life in what you don’t know.

Ted Williams on Steve Ferroli
Posted on May 14th, 2008
Foreword for Hit Your Potential
I’ve been talking about this guy for fifteen years! Still, he doesn’t get the attention he deserves because he didn’t play baseball professionally. It’s really not fair. The way I see it, hitting a baseball and teaching someone to hit a baseball are two different things. And I’ll tell you what – Steve Ferroli can teach it every bit as good as I could hit it!
