1939 Play Ball Ted Williams Rookie #92 PSA NM-MT 8. One of
his greatest wishes in life was that when he walked down the
street, he wanted to hear passersby say: "There goes the greatest
hitter who ever lived." When he finally did hang up his spikes
after the 1960 campaign, after playing 19 seasons for the Boston
Red Sox, his wish was very close to reality. Though he fell short
of Ty Cobb's .366 career batting average, Williams did compile a
.344 lifetime average, which still places him No. 6 on MLB's
all-time list. It's a reality that makes the offered 1939 Play Ball
rookie card of "Teddy Ballgame" one of the most desired cards in
the entire hobby.Originating from a year that saw the heartfelt farewell of Lou Gehrig, and the opening of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, this rookie card of the Splendid Splinter is a must-have beauty for any serious baseball card aficionado. Note both MLB's Centennial patch on Ted's left sleeve and the since-retired No. 9 across his back. This example of card #92 from the much-revered 1939 Play Ball set is found in high-grade fashion with minimal, if any, surface wear, decent centering, clean white borders, four strong corners and a flawless reverse. Graded PSA NM-MT 8.
