1952 & 1953 Seasons. Williams didn't return from Korea until mid August of 1953 and spent his first 10 days in a delayed Spring Training. In 1954 he broke his collarbone in Spring Training. So, there's a ton of more time lost. Let's not also forget that right field in Fenway is not exactly a hitter's best friend despite the bullpens they built there for Teddy Ballgame. Just saying.
