THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, Boston, December 8, 1937

• Ted Williams acquired by the Boston Red Sox
• Very early mention prior to his MLB baseball debut
• Great to have in a hometown newspaper title

This newspaper has a somewhat discrete but extremely early report in the sport's section (page 11) on the Boston Red Sox acquiring a young 19 year old by the name of Ted Williams. Near the bottom of the page under the heading: "Major Leagues Stick to Their Respective Balls" with text that begins with: "The Boston Red Sox, who did quite a bit of business here and at Milwaukee, landed a very promising recruit last night by buying Ted Williams, 19-year-old outfielder...." Rare to have such a early report on this famous baseball player as his Major League debut would not be for another year and a half. Great to have in a Boston newspaper.
