Ted Williams Taking Practice Swing in Havana
Description
A slide of a black-and-white, full-length photograph showing Ted Williams posing in the follow-through of his swing. Williams is wearing a Boston Red Sox cap and road uniform. His body twists to his right with the baseball bat behind his left shoulder. His right leg is crossing in front of his left, and he is looking outward as if tracking the flight of the baseball. He appears to be in third-base foul territory, with fans visible in the grandstand in the background. A caption attributes the photo to Spring Training in March 1950 at Estadio Tropical in Havana, Cuba. Information written on the physical slide reads, "Ted Williams in Havana" See willite01_01, willite01_16; willite01_278, and willite01_303.
