Dwight Hamrick & Ted Williams
On the back of the photo…
“Ted Williams and his team of major and minor league stars from the Pensacola Naval Air Station come to town today to play Addsco at 5:30pm at Hartwell Field in a game that is attracting a great deal of interest among the fans.
“The appearance of Williams, the only hitter to bat over the .400 mark in the American League since 1930 over the spans of a season’s play, and the chance to get another look at Red Hamrick’s fire-ball, are natural drawing cards.”
And in Dwight’s handwriting…
“To my dear friend Mack: This picture taken by Navy Department 51 years ago.
—Dwight”
