Did I Pull Off the Deal of the Century?

In my 1941 real player association, on a whim I made an offer to the Red Sox for Ted Williams. Astoundingly, the AI GM gave me a short list of players they'd accept in a one for one trade.
I am assuming that current stats played a part in this, as my 34-year-old starting pitcher Whit Wyatt is having a hell of a season (8-1, ERA under 2.50).
I jumped at the deal. They accepted it. I am STILL giddy about this. Ted Williams, at 23 years old, is now a Brooklyn Dodger. Ted was leading the association in HR (11), but batting just .318.
I suppose my timing was perfect, as Boston was floundering in 6th place in the AL and their pitching was terrible.
PS His first AB for us was a 2-run HR. Will the mercurial "Kid" be accepted in "Bwooklyn"? You bet your a*s he'll be accepted. [:D]
