- Lot Description
This is a Boston Red Sox scored program from September 28, 1960, which marked the end of Ted Williams’ baseball career. It is notable not just because the program is scored and records Williams’ final at-bat, but he concluded his baseball career with a home run in his final at-bat, and this is the program which records that rare event.
He was playing against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park when he homered off Jack Fisher in the eighth inning and sent the ball into the Red Sox bullpen. Williams refused to salute the fans after he hit the home run and touched home plate, and he refused to doff his cap after being replaced in the field.
The program is called a “scored program” because there are marks for each inning which show each player and whether they got a hit, a walk, or a strikeout; if there were no marks on the score sheet, it would be called an “unscored program”, and you can see the symbol for a home run in the eighth inning, straight across from Ted Williams' name and you can see the date September 28, 1960 below the Red Sox roster.
Ted Williams (1918 - 2002) was an American League professional baseball player and manager who played his entire career with the Boston Red Sox. Nicknamed "the Splendid Splinter" and "the Thumper", Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history - he was the last player to hit over .400 in a season, aside from Josh Gibson, who hit for an average of .466 during the 1943 season of the National Negro League.
Williams was a nineteen-time All-Star, a two-time recipient of the AL’s Most Valuable Player Award, a six-time AL batting champion, and a two-time Triple Crown winner. He finished his playing career with 521 home runs and a 1.116 on-base plus slugging percentage, the third highest of all time. He actually hit .406 during the 1941 baseball season, and his career batting average of .344 ranks 11th all-time and is the highest of any MLB player whose career was played mainly after World War II.
He played primarily as a left fielder, his baseball career was interrupted by military service during World War II and the Korean War, and without that lost time, just imagine where he could have been in baseball’s annals.
The program measures 6 in. x 10 in. and is rare. Fenway Park only had seating for 33,368 fans in 1960, so there were just a limited number of seats for this program, and people probably threw away many of these programs after the game. We found only two offered online, a scored program for $8999 and an unscored one for $9999, and we’re starting the bidding low to get things going. You can see footage of Ted Willams’ final at bat online. So, get your peanuts, hot dogs, and program while it’s still hot.
Size: 6 x 10 in.
