This official American League Spalding baseball holds the genuine signature of the legendary Boston Red Sox Hall of Famer, Ted Williams.
The ball has some scuffs and yellowing but Ted’s signature is still very clean and clear in the sweet spot.
A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Sun State Coin + Collectibles in Florida (his last residence) is included.
***A like-new paperback biography 'Ted Williams' — a New York Times Bestseller — is included with the ball.
Nicknamed "Teddy Ballgame", "the Kid", "the Splendid Splinter", and "The Thumper", Williams is regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history and to date is the last player to hit over .400 in a season.
Williams was a nineteen-time All-Star, a two-time recipient of the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player Award, a six-time AL batting champion, and a two-time Triple Crown winner.
He finished his playing career with a .344 batting average, 521 home runs, and a .482 on-base percentage, the highest of all time.
His career batting average is the highest of any MLB player whose career was played primarily in the live-ball era, and ranks tied for 7th all-time.
Williams retired from playing in 1960. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 25 of 1966, in his first year of eligibility.
