Original film negative of Ted Williams taken by noted Chicago baseball photographer George Burke. Williams is captured sitting in the dugout at Comiskey Park, with a wide smile on his face, as he poses for the camera. This is an early image of "The Splendid Splinter," most likely dating from one of his first few years in the league. The negative (5x7") bears a production code written along the left border and a tiny indentation in the upper right border. Sourced from Leland’s.
