A Land of Second Chances

I wish Ted Williams all the luck in the world as he gets a second chance to redeem his broken life.

America has been a land of opportunity for the homeless, tempest-tost of the world. And that chance applies to those born here, too, of course.

This is a source of our greatness, I believe. Nobody is guaranteed success and nobody is denied the chance to excel. Your station at birth will certainly influence your destiny here, but ultimately you make the call. Mr. Williams made the wrong call, once. Let's hope he sees the right path lit by the lamp beside the golden door to success.

He really does have an incredible radio voice.
