Ted Williams autographed 10 x 8" color glossy photograph, boldly signed "Ted Williams" in blue ink across the image. The photograph captures a historic moment from Opening Day at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., on April 7, 1969, as President Richard Nixon prepares to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Washington Senators faced the New York Yankees.

Williams, wearing his Washington Senators uniform, stands immediately beside Nixon during the ceremony. The game marked Williams' debut as manager of the Senators and Nixon's first presidential Opening Day ceremonial first pitch.

Near fine condition.

Ted Williams (1918–2002) was an American professional baseball player and manager widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters in the history of the sport. The longtime Boston Red Sox left fielder was a 19-time All-Star, two-time American League MVP, six-time batting champion, and two-time Triple Crown winner. Williams finished his career with a .344 batting average, 521 home runs, and a .482 on-base percentage, and remains the last Major League player to bat over .400 in a season, hitting .406 in 1941. His baseball career was twice interrupted by military service as a Marine Corps aviator during World War II and the Korean War. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, Williams returned to baseball in 1969 as manager of the Washington Senators.
