Description

A 1954 court order to be “ready, willing and able to play at the game of Baseball”

DS, one page, 7.5 x 10.25, September 25, 1954. Commonwealth of Massachusetts summons ordering Williams “to appear in uniform and with necessary equipment at Fenway Park, in the said City of Boston, ready, willing and able to play at the game of Baseball throughout the entire season of 1955.” Signed at the conclusion by Williams. Mounted to a sheet of heavy cardstock and in very good condition, with scattered toning and creasing, tack holes to top edge, and adhesive residue to the lower left corner. Williams sat out the first month of the 1955 season due to a divorce settlement with his wife, Doris, but was ultimately named the ‘Comeback Player of the Year,’ batting .356, hitting 28 home runs, and driving in 83 runs. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
