In 1967, the "Cardiac Kids" won the pennant with the lowest winning percentage (.568) in league history. Here are two great items from that season for the baseball collector. The first is a telegram dated August 22, 1967, from Senator Ted Kennedy to the Red Sox equipment manager. Addressed to "The Boston Red Sox Locker Room, Fenway Park," it reads in part, "Congratulations on a thrilling win. Best of luck in the second game and for the rest of the season. Your fan, Ted Kennedy, US Senator." The second item is an OAL Cronin baseball, signed in black marker by famous politician and presidential candidate of the time Hubert Humphrey. He addressed the ball "To Fitzy," the Red Sox equipment manager at the time known as "The infamous Fitz." Slight smudging on the signature rating it an 8. Comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
