Here's something different -- foul ball hit by Teddy Ballgame in 1959. This comes from a large collection of fouls balls snagged by a Cleveland man who had season tickets in the front row down the third base line at Municipal Stadium. Williams and Mantle are the only stars -- most are from guys like Jerry Lumpe, Earl Battey and Willie Kirkland. They are all dated between 1959 and 1963.

Very cool items everyone! Here is a 1951 New England TV Guide with Ted pictured in the top left corner. I also scanned a page showing an evening's listing. Not a lot to choose from!

If you went by the captions a couple of them were a little tricky--like Pesky was the reg SS & only played a few games at 3rd, while Boudreau played some at all 3 --SS, 3rd & 2nd--and Vern Stephens was the reg 3rd baseman.!

Brock, Easier to see the Splinter in hand. But he's batting lefty. The fan had written on the reverse too. So it's unquestionable

Warming up at Fenway c1949.
