Description
Really nice Ted Williams Signed baseball. It’s on a William Harridge game used American League Ball. The signature was done in the period while Williams was playing as evidenced by the wonderful old school fountain pen. Very rare to find a signature from the 40's from the greatest hitter ever, right on the sweet spot. From 1931 to 1958, Harridge was the President of the American League. This ball comes with documentation from Brigandi Collectibles out of New York and is graded by PSA/DNA #E37842.
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.
