COMMENTS / CONDITION: This is positive film that can be viewed with a backlight source without having to invert the image. As with original negatives, it can be used to produce high-quality photographic prints (no print is included with this item though). This is one of a large number of sports promo slides that I will be listing in the coming weeks. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to the mount's edges, but see scans for further details including film condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual vintage photograph, slide or negative being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends.

Richard Hirschfeld Williams was born in 1929 in St. Louis, MO and died in 2011 in Las Vegas, NV. He played major league baseball from 1951 to 1964 as outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Athletics and the Boston Red Sox, appeared in the 1953 World Series, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008. While he was not as prominent as a player, Williams had nearly 3,000 at-bats in 13 seasons at the major league level. He went on to manage the Boston Red Sox (1967-69), Oakland Athletics (1971-73), California Angels (1974-76), Montreal Expos (1977-81), San Diego Padres (1982-85) and the Seattle Mariners (1986-88). Williams' major league managerial career lasted almost without interruption from 1967 to 1988. He won the American League pennant in 1967 as a rookie manager for the Boston Red Sox, the World Series in 1972 and 1973 with the Oakland Athletics, and the National League pennant in 1984 with the San Diego Padres. His Montreal Expos team also won the second half of the strike-torn 1981 season, although he had been ousted as manager in early September that year. Even before he managed in the major leagues, he had success: in his two years at the helm of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston's top farm team, in 1965 and 1966, he won the International League championship.

Explanation of Type Classifications:

Type 1 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within two years of when the shot was taken).

Type 2 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during a later period (more than two years after the shot was taken).

Type 3 = A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period.

Type 4 = A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period.

Original = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, which appears to be of the period but for which a print date cannot be determined for definitive Type classification. Essentially, a photo we feel is a Type 1, but which lacks certain elements necessary for definitive dating of the print.
