1949 LEAF Rookie card
. .
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.
