Lot 1478 Ted Williams
ALS signed “Ted Williams of sound mind,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Sears, Roebuck and Co. letterhead, March 15, 1974. In full: “To whom it may concern, By agreement reached this date, if I (Ted Williams) is ever beat 2 out of 3 sets in tennis by Dolores Williams I agree to pay $10,000. Please bring knife when this happens.” Signed at the bottom by two “witnesses,” his wife, “Dolores Wettach Williams,” and his young son, “John.” Numerous intersecting folds and a couple stray pencil marks in upper corners, otherwise fine condition. A humorous peek into the life of the typically reserved, but always competitive, Hall of Famer. Originates from the Williams family estate and is accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by his daughter.
