Ted Williams ends the season above .400...

Item # 704818 ·
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, Missouri, Sept. 29, 1941 

* Ted Williams .406 batting average enters record books
* Boston Red Sox - major league baseball - MLB


Not only is it difficult to find reports on Ted Williams' season-ending .406 batting average--which has yet to be topped--but when they are found they are typically very small, inconspicuous reports without headlines.
This report is a somewhat pleasant exception as the sports page has a nice photos showing Ted Williams kissing a bat, captioned: "Ted Williams, Red Sox slugger, who finished the season with a batting average of .406 to become the first major league hitter to reach the .400 class since 1930. He easily wont title."
The complete issue, small binding holes at the blank spine, great condition.
