1950's Double weight photograph of Ted Williams from the Boston Red Sox arriving at the ballpark and finding a huge crowd of fans (mostly girls) waiting for him with cameras and autograph books. Stamped on the back by LIFE Magazine and from Williams' own estate, this is the only known example of this photograph and it presents well with a tiny spot of paper loss on the lower left corner and some glue residue on the back from Williams' scrapbook.
