Venerable Fenway Park serves as the fitting backdrop of this poignant image from Ted Williams Day, on April 30, 1952. The Splendid Splinter is shown pausing to gather his thoughts in front of an array of microphones as the Boston faithful look on in this 8x10" keepsake. This was Ted's last game before leaving to serve in Korea, and he hit a game-winning homer to cap the special event. Minor creases at corners, verso has discoloration down one edge that does not appear to affect the image, ID in pencil and stamps from Brown Brothers, founded in 1904 as the first photo collection service of its kind.
