Not many players could hit like Ted Williams. Simply put, he was one of the best ever at his trade. Ted Williams was the last player in major league baseball history to hit over 400, when in 1941 he eclipsed that mark and ended the season with a .406 batting average. George Brett has been the closest in 1980, he hit .390 for the Kansas City Royals. Had Williams not gone to fight in the war, he would be the all-time home run leader. This jersey was worn by the splendid splinter during his first season as a manger for the Washington Senators. Nice photo matches below as Ted took his team to new heights in the hitting category. Perfect signature on the lower part of this jersey make it one special item.
This Ted Williams Washington Senators photo matched autographed jersey is a thing of beauty. Sweat stains adorn the lower half where the jersey would be tucked in. All original as well as the 100th patch. Flannels from this era are some of the nicest ever produced.
Photo matched to Ted sitting on the bench and its a bang on match! I believe it also be the one pictured on opening day on the pictures with President Richard Nixon and opening day 1969 as the 100-year patch area seems to match up but not 100% on that match.
Ted Williams’ career is one of extraordinary achievement.  He was inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966 and is one of the most iconic and accomplished hitters in Major League Baseball history. Williams’ career with the Boston Red Sox, spanning from 1939 to 1960, remains a benchmark for offensive excellence. Known for his incredible batting eye, unparalleled swing, and deep understanding of the game, he redefined hitting and left an unforgettable mark on baseball. Over 19 seasons (interrupted by military service during World War II and the Korean War), he was a nineteen-time All-Star, six-time AL Batting Champion, two-time Triple Crown winner and won the AL Batting Champion six times.  Williams compiled a .344 career batting average currently ranks 10th in MLB history. He hit 521 home runs, drove in 1,839 runs, and amassed 2,654 hits. He remains the last player to hit .400 in a season, a feat he achieved in 1941 with a .406 batting average. That season is widely regarded as one of the greatest in baseball history, as Williams also led the league in on-base percentage (.553) and slugging percentage (.735), showcasing his ability to combine contact and power like no other player of his time.
