Description

Say the name Ted Williams anywhere in America, and sports fans perk up right away. Even men and women too young to have seen him play can cite from memory their parents' descriptions of "Teddy Ballgame's" swing. The last man to hit .400, his swing was both science and art, bringing unadulterated joy to Boston fans, and striking terror in pitchers everywhere else. This rare Holy Cross photo was signed by him and is offered here for eager baseball fans in and out of New England. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of signed memorabilia from one of baseball's greatest players. The "Splendid Splinter" was inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1966. Maybe even more impressive than Williams' baseball stats, though, was his willingness to serve his country at the expense of his baseball career. While many ballplayers never saw military service, Williams served twice, during WWII from 1942-45, and again during the Korean War. With staggering stats already, imagine his lifetime numbers if he had those years back! A Marine Corps pilot, Williams flew 39 combat missions in Korea. This 16" x 20" signed photo can be yours if your bid is high enough. Don't let this pitch get by you!
