Ted Williams on 1949 Boston Radio Broadcast Schedule
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph showing a 1949 broadcasting schedule for Boston radio station WHDH (850 AM). A drawing on the left side of the schedule shows Ted Williams wearing a Boston Red Sox home uniform. He is in the follow-through of his swing, with his right leg extended and his bat pointed behind him at shoulder level. A silhouette drawing of an island with palm trees is near the bottom of his legs. Another illustration of a pot-bellied stove (“hot stove”) is at the center, with seven listeners gathered around. The April 1949 WHDH broadcast schedule is on the right, showing the “Schedule of Broadcasts” for games of both the Boston Red Sox and Boston Braves. The upper portion of the schedule reads, “WHDH again brings you all the home games of the Braves and Red Sox. And all of every game, too, no matter how long it runs—including double-headers, Sunday, holiday, and night games—with sportscasters Jim Britt, Leo Egan, and Tom Hussey. See the Boston Herald and Traveler for time of games.”
