1959 Boston Red Sox Team Advertising Sign
Fabulous 12 x 24" generic advertising poster that made a group photo of the Red Sox available for use by prospective Sox radio and TV sponsors. Now that seems like an offer that couldn't be refused, since the color photo includes Ted Williams in the back row and other fan faves such as Pete Runnels, Frank Malzone, Bill Monboquette, Jackie Jensen, Gene Stephens, Sammy White, and manager Pinky Higgins (who was fired in mid-season, as the team finished 5th). Also of note is the historic presence of Pumpsie Green, the 1st black player on the last team to integrate. Top of photo reads "Your Radio And TV Host," below the space where the would-be sponsor would put their name. Cardboard piece is VG-EX with some foxing around the edges and especially the corners and the white border having browned a bit, though the team image is vivid.
