Make a great baseball milestone yours, with this Ted Williams autographed newspaper. The date was 6/17/60, and the scene was Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, when Williams hit his 500th career home run off Indians rookie pitcher Wynn Hawkins, in the 3rd inning of a 3-1 Boston Red Sox win. This historic homer made Williams just the 4th member of baseball's prestigious "500 Home Run Club", joining fellow immortals Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, and Mel Ott. The action is reported in the offered 6/18/60 edition of the New York Daily News. Williams has applied a big and bold ("9") strength autograph on the back page of this paper, which features the headline "Ted Hits 500th Homer" above. An interior article with box score appears on page 26, chronicling Williams' big blast, which proved to be the game-winning hit, and an important of his incredible legacy. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Opening Bid $200.
