Powered by Ted Williams' .369 average and Vern Stephens' 137 RBIs, the Bosox won 96 games. In 1948, 26 members of the team signed this lightly toned OAL Harridge ball. Most notable is Williams' bold signature, the only one in dark blue ink and the easily best on the ball, rating a 9. Others include two more HOFers, manager Joe McCarthy (SS) and Bobby Doerr, as well as Stephens, Billy Goodman, Sam Mele, Johnny Pesky, Wally Moses, Bill Hitchcock, etc. Most signatures are 6s and 7s.
