A slide of a full-length black-and-white photograph of Ted Williams batting against the Cleveland Indians in 1951. The photograph is from the first base side of the field. Williams is standing in the left-handed batter’s box and has just finished his swing with the baseball bat he is holding pointing behind him. His upper body still twists to his right as he looks over his left arm toward the field. He is wearing a Boston Red Sox road uniform. The unknown Indians catcher behind home plate is crouching with his right knee down. He is in profile with his right side visible and is wearing an Indians home uniform and full catcher’s equipment, including a mask, chest protector, and shin guards. The blurry background shows an unknown Red Sox kneeling in the on-deck circle and fans in the grandstand. Information written on the physical slide reads, “Ted Williams”
