Ted Williams: Career, & Signed Photograph

 

Theordore Samuel Williams, born on August 30^th 1918 and died on July 5^th, 2002, was an American Professional Baseball player and manager. He played his entire 19-year major league career, primarily as a left fielder for the Boston red sox from 1939 to 1960; his career was interrupted by military service during the world war II and the Korean war. Nicknamed “Teddy Ballgame’, ‘the kid’, ‘the splendid splinter’ and ‘the thumper’, Williams is regarded as one of the greatest hitters in American baseball history.

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 (with Billy Hamilton)

Notably known for being one of the purest, and greatest baseball hitters of all time, Ted Williams made the act of ‘hitting’ the ball, quite frankly a science to say the least. With his interpretation of understanding the movement of the ball, the stitches in the ball and how and where he would swing. He was considered by many of the greats in MLB as ‘the best eyes’ and the most disciplined within the world of MLB. We are in the midst of appraising a collection at an estate in Long Island that is filled with Ted Wiliams items that the owner had acquired from the son of Ted Williams, John Williams. John Williams is the only son of Ted Williams, and his third wife Dolores Wettach. In 1992, during the height of the sports card boom, John Henry, along with Grand Slam Marketing, founded a sports card company called the Ted Williams Card Company. The company issued two baseball and one football sets (all three composed of retired players) over the next three years before it folded in 1995. John Henry's father Ted died on July 5, 2002. Announcing there would be no funeral, he had Ted's body flown to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, and placed in cryonic suspension. John Henry's lawyer produced an informal family pact signed by Ted, John Henry, and Claudia in which they agreed "to be put into biostasis after we die" to "be able to be together in the future, even if it is only a chance.
