Baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams a native of San Diego who attended Herbert Hoover High School in the 1930’s became known as “the greatest hitter who ever lived” based on his incredible exploits with abaseball bat. In fact the six-time American League batting champ remains the last major leaguer to have cracked the magical .400 barrier when he turned the trick in 1941 by batting an astounding .406.This lot features a trio of Ted Williams autographed art pieces all three of which were donated to the San Diego Hall of Champions.
