Presented is a 1958 Ted Williams signed romantic letter, written on stationery from The Somerset, a famous hotel in which Williams lived, in Boston. The Splendid Splinter played his entire nineteen-year Major League career with the Boston Red Sox (1939-60). Williams was the last Major Leaguer to bat at least .400, a feat he accomplished in 1941 when he batted .406, winning one of his six AL batting titles. The 19-time All-Star hit 521 home runs, an accomplishment all the more amazing because he missed nearly the equivalent of five full seasons total service as a U.S. Marine pilot in two military tours: World War II and the Korean Conflict. Williams was a 2-time AL MVP and a 2-time winner of the AL Triple Crown. Also known as The Kid, Williams holds the all-time Major League record for OBP at .482, and he has the second-highest OPS in history at 1.116. The offered letter is written in blue ink. The 7.2x10.3" stationery has an image of The Somerset at the top. Williams was divorced and single at the time he wrote the letter. He wrote: "Dear Barbara Why don't you give me a buzz at the [illegible] on Monday early - see how things are(.) Enjoyed seeing & meeting you (-) hope it'll be often & a whole lot better again(.) Spelt wrong (,) I know. (T)ed Love #9." It's interesting that Williams includes his uniform number (#9) in the closing of the letter. The letter has folds from being folded into 12 sections for mailing or hand delivery. On the back of the letter are some notations, in both pencil and in red ink, made by an unknown hand. The notations in red ink include, "Called Sept 1958" and "Called Sept 2, 1959." Red ink from these notations has faintly bled onto part of the top image on the front of the letter, as have some faint pencil markings as well. The signed and inscribed personal letter is a fine remembrance from a player some baseball aficionados consider the best hitter in history.
