Ted Williams Scrapbook : scrapbook, 1938-1939.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/317717404

This scrapbook was created by Less Cassie, a childhood friend of Williams. This scrapbook is primarily 1939, Williams' rookie year. Items of note include correspondence dated 2/15/1939, informing Williams to report to spring training; another dated 7/05/1938 from Trautman to Williams congratulating him on making the American Association All-Star team; and one dated 01/02/1939 informing Williams he would be the regular rightfielder for the Red Sox. There are clippings on the moving in of the right field fence at Fenway Park for Williams but most of the newspaper clippings relate to his hitting skills. There is a leaflet from an American League motion picture titled, "Touching All Bases", possible a safety film using actual players.
