Solid mid-grade example of Teddy Ballgame's classic 54 Topps card, which also happens to the be the last card in the set. Ted Williams was said (often by the man himself) to be the greatest hitter of all time. He missed nearly 5 seasons in his prime to active military service in both WW II and the Korean War, where he flew actual combat missions. He won a Triple Crown in 1941, then enlisted in the Marines. When he came back, he won another Triple Crown in 1947. If not interrupted twice by wars, Williams would have run up a .342 average with 3,452 hits, 663 home runs and 2,380 RBIs. And don't forget, he's the all-time on-base % leader as well. Yeah, the guy could hit!
