1939 Ted Williams Tim Murnane Trophy (Rookie Season)
Amazing 1939 Tim Murnane Trophy presented to the legendary Ted Williams. The "trophy" is actually a plaque with a silver plate mounted on a wood base, with the piece weighing a hefty 8lb 10oz, and measuring 12" across, and 21" top to bottom at the widest point. Great etched image of Williams is on the plate, which reads, "Tim Murnane Trophy - Theodore Francis Williams - American League - Runs Batted-In Champion - and - Boston's Outstanding Major League Performer - 1939 - Presented by Boston Chapter Baseball Writers Association of America." The plate has some scratching and tarnish but should clean nicely. There's a heavy chain on back for hanging and a few minor scratches to the wood base as well. Note that this is from his rookie 1939 campaign in which he blasted onto the scene with 31 homers and a league-leading 175 RBI; also worth noting that the Rookie of the Year award was not instituted until 1947, and Ted still holds the record for most RBI in a rookie season. Tim Murnane played in the Majors in the late 1800s but became better known for spending over three decades as the leading sportswriter at the Boston Globe.
