Ted Williams’ Coaches Worn Uniform: A Piece of Baseball History
An Iconic Legacy
Ted Williams, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, stands as one of the most revered figures in the history of Major League Baseball. Inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966 on his first ballot, Williams’ illustrious career is a testament to his unparalleled skill and dedication to the sport. As a member of both the MLB All-Century and All-Time Teams, Williams’ accolades include two American League MVP awards, two Triple Crowns, 19 All-Star selections, and six AL batting championships. Remarkably, he remains the last player to have batted .400 in a season.
