Ted Williams is The Homeless Man with The Golden Voice

In life some great talents have been lost to drug and alcohol abuse. Stars that shined brightly are dulled out by addiction and disease, so it's always heartwarming to see a great recovery story.

A few days ago the following video became an Internet sensation. Ted Williams, who looks nothing like the baseball legend with the same name, is a homeless man with a booming radio voice.

Williams has been living on the streets and panhandling along an Ohio interstate to survive. A journalist with the Cleveland Dispatch found Mr. Williams on the side of the road and decided to conduct what has now become a life altering interview.



Since the interview went viral, Williams has been hit with tons of offers from radio stations and other organizations like the Cleveland Cavaliers and NFL Films.

I really hope that Mr. Williams will be able to take advantage of these new opportunities. He's been blessed with a second chance. His story is certainly one that we all can look at for inspiration.
