A member of the MLB All-Century and All-Time Teams, Ted Williams was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966 on the first ballot. Williams is a two-time American League MVP and Triple Crown winner, a 19-time All-Star and a six-time AL batting champion. Williams is also the last player to bat .400 in a season. This game-ready bat is attributed to Williams’ final career game and comes with a letter of provenance stating it was gifted by Williams to a Boston Globe sports writer during the 7th inning of his final game. The Hillerich & Bradsby manufactured W183 model bat measures 35 inches and weighs 33.6 ounces. The ash wood bat with a standard finish is uncracked and game-ready. The model number is stamped into the knob and Williams’ player number “9” is on the knob in black paint. Also appearing on the knob is the weight of the bat written in pencil. Accompanied by a PSA/DNA LOA.
