Ted Williams 1959 Fleer Baseball Card 26


Description

A color slide of a baseball card from the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set. Card number 26 in the set shows Williams swinging in batting practice during Spring Training. He is standing almost straight up in the left-handed batter's box after swinging, his upper body twists to his right, facing the camera. The baseball bat he holds with both hands is pointing behind him above the catcher's head. He is wearing a Boston Red Sox road uniform. Behind home plate is a catcher crouching with his gloved left hand extending forward. He is wearing full catcher's equipment, including a mask, chest protector, and shin guards. The caption on the bottom of the baseball cards reads, "1946 - Off To A Flying Start." Information written on the physical slide reads, "Cr: S. Cummings"
