Some Ted Williams photos

[okdoak]

Most pictures I find of Ted Williams show him holding a bat, and that makes a lot of sense for the man who's been called "the greatest hitter of all time." But we glovers know that he was a long time Wilson endorser and it was neat to find a few showing his gloves.
"The Kid", evidently pre-Wilson with a Spalding:


With his triple tunnel Wilson:




Some of his store model gloves had the same web:




Guessing late 1950's:


Ted at the Wilson plant. I'll bet lacing gloves all day gets really tedious, but I look at this picture and think "dream job".

Those are some great photos okdoak. I would have to agree with you on the dream job part, but todays quota of gloves laced might be in excess of Ted's days. Great stuff!
