Description: Very fine Ted Williams Boston Red Sox professional model home jersey c.1950s (SGC/Grob: Superior). Few players in baseball history have garnered the respect that Ted Williams earned during his illustrious 19 year career with the Boston Red Sox. Williams's statistics are among the most revered of any player in history: a lifetime batting average of .344, over 2,600 career hits, over 1,800 career RBI's, 521 lifetime home runs, and a remarkable .634 career slugging percentage, which is second only to Babe Ruth. Williams won the American League MVP award in 1946 and 1949 and nearly captured the award on several other occasions as well. The 1941 season in which he batted .406 has become almost mythical as he elected to bat in the final two games collecting six hits in his final eight at bats. Ted also won the AL Triple Crown in both 1942 and 1947. Presented is a cream color flannel home jersey retaining its original "Red Sox" team name across the front and displaying the iconic "9" on the back. Proper Tim McAuliffe manufacturer's tag affixed to the tail front along with "46" supplemental size tag and "Williams" red embroidered strip tag which has small area of loss at left end. The shirt remains in beautiful all original condition with evident use and wash wear throughout. Outstanding Ted Williams game jersey with exceptional display qualities which has been assigned the highest condition grade of "Superior". Includes LOA from SGC/Grob (Superior): EX-MTEstimated Price Range: ($100,000-$200,000)
