Presented by Hillerich & Bradsby in
1947, this Ted Williams cardboard
counter top sign was issued to promote
their Louisville Slugger baseball bats.
Johnny Mize, Mickey Vernon, and Stan
Musial signs were also issued. Created
by famous sports cartoonist Sam Davis,
it depicts the Red Sox Hall of Fame
slugger commemorating his American
League MVP season of 1946.
Two drawings of Williams, a larger one showing his classic follow-through,
with '46 stats "37 doubles, 176 hits,
142 runs, 38 homers" The smaller image
at the top left corner shows Ted poised
to swing with the caption: "The Kid
clinched the pennant for the Bosox with a homer on Sept. 13
against Cleveland-score 1-0" Below an
illustration of a pitcher on the right
side States "Blasted 165 Homer and has
a .355 Average for his five years in
The A.L."
Each poster measures 15" x 20" and has an easel back to be used as a
counter top display. The signs were
shipped to the store in the original
shipping box with the H & B label
pictured below. In a 2004 auction the
Ted Williams sign sold for $1,100. Stan
Musial $900., and Mickey Vernon $325.
