Ted Williams

Manuscripts & Autographs

Williams, Ted signed photograph, undated, documents one of Major League Baseball’s defining twentieth-century hitters, whose career with the Boston Red Sox was twice interrupted by service as a United States Marine Corps pilot. Williams’s public significance rests not only on his nineteen-season baseball career, two American League Most Valuable Player awards, six batting titles, and two Triple Crowns, but also on the intersection of professional athletics and military service during the World War II and Korean War eras.
