...spent the last quarter-century of his life in bittersweet retirement, first with his Russian-born wife Raissa in Yonkers, N.Y., and, after her death, with one of his three sons (all are professors of mathematics) in Princeton, N.J. Between puffs on his corncob pipe and games of chess, he had plenty of time to field queries from inquiring historians.

Pole vaulters, broad jumpers, skiers, quarterbacks, golfers, chess players-they have all rewritten the record books until yesterday's hero is exposed as a man with feat of clay. Only baseball has retained so many of its idols. No one has come close to Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak of 1941. The Ted Williams...
