SABR published an article on the subject in 2021. In the article, it states that "In 1941, Ted Williams batted a lusty .406 (185 H in 456 AB), but had his eight RBI flyouts not been counted as at-bats, his batting average would have been .413." It also states that "Twice the “no Sac-Fly” rule precluded a player from winning the esteemed Triple Crown of batting." The first was Jimmie Foxx, who could have won the batting crown and therefore the triple crown in 1932 if the the sacrifice fly rule that has been in operation from 1954 to the present (where batters who hit RBI flyouts are credited with a sac fly, and an RBI flyout is not charged as an at bat, just as a sacrifice bunt is not charged as an at-bat) were in effect. This would have given Foxx back-to-back triple crowns. Similarly, Ted Williams could have won the batting title in 1949, which would have given Ted his 3rd Triple Crown. |

I'm a stickler when it comes to condition in my collection. Rarity is always a secondary factor. I had to compromise though on condition when i found this 1 of 1 (that means rare) 1955 Topps Williams with a unique Preston Ward border.
1955 Williams.jpg Finding a splintered Splendid Splinter made my day and led to the creation of my complete 1955 Topps Mutant Set.

Been in the market for a well-centered 1939 PB for years -- have never been lucky enough to win the right one. In the meantime, this holds the spot in my collection . . .

Just aesthetically, I'd go with '56 Topps. Overall, I'd have to say it's the 1939 R303A.

I have owned most of the Ted cards including one of the highest graded 59 Fleer sets. Man does he have a lot of ugly cards.
I had 8 different cut card art pieces made and wanted a Ted one. I just couldn't figure out what card I wanted to turn into a piece of artwork. I went with a wrapper from the 59 Fleer set. |
