Ted Williams Advertisement for Wilson


Description

A color slide of an advertisement for a Wilson A2000 baseball glove featuring a chest-up photograph of Ted Williams. Both of his arms are at a 90-degree angle in front of him, and he is wearing his baseball glove on his left hand. Williams is looking into the glove as he reaches into the glove's webbing with his right hand. He is wearing a Boston Red Sox home uniform and ball cap. The caption reads "Big League Sensation..." Underneath the image of Williams are three smaller images of the glove from different angles. The accompanying text reads, "Ted Willliams, voted Male Athlete of the Year by Associated Press, helped develop and design the Wilson A2000 Pro Model Glove. Now available at leading sporting goods dealers, the Wilson A2000 is The Glove that won immediate acceptance from major leaguers who insist on the very best. There's a glove in the Wilson line for you - finest workmanship and design in every price range - all patterned after exclusive Wilson A2000 features." See willite01_18.
