John Updike's book on Ted Williams,
Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu, contains one Shakespeare reference. Updike writes, "Throughout the late forties, the Red Sox were the best paper team in baseball, yet they had little three-dimensional to show for it, and if this was a tragedy, Williams was Hamlet" (p. 10). This book was published in 2010, a special publication of The Library of America. But its main piece was first published in
The New Yorker on October 20, 1960, and parts of the second piece were published in 1986 and 2002.
