The mighty Ted Kluszewski.....let's see some cards
1949 LEAF Rookie card
http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...wskiDkBlue.jpg . . http://photos.imageevent.com/tedzan7...Kluszewski.jpg By age 10, I was an avid Yankees fan. But, I was also a fan of Ted Williams and Ted Kluszewski. Sounds a little strange, doesn't it ? Not really, I rooted for both Ted's because we three were named "Theodore". I have already posted a thread regarding Ted Williams, and my conversations with him in Cooperstown. So, this thread is about Ted Kluszewski. Ted is somewhat of an unheralded BB player. From 1952-1956, he was equal in slugging power and BAvg with other NL guys (Mathews, Mays, Snider, etc.). He was traded to the Chicago "Go-Go" White Sox in 1959. Chicago faced the LA Dodgers in the World Series in 1959, and "Big Klu" proved that he still was a force to be reckoned with. In 6 games, Ted batted .391 with 10 RBI's, 9 Hits, 3 HR's, and an amazing OPS = 1.266 That's my story, guys. Now, let's see some Ted Kluszewski cards, memorabilia, and other related stuff.

Starting end on the 1945 Indiana Hoosiers football team. The only unbeaten squad in school history. His Letterman's jacket was available for sale at a National several years ago and I still kick myself for not buying it.

Ted was watching film of his hitting before it was en vogue, what a trailblazer.
