| Description: Boston Red Sox Baseball Jersey Autographed by Ted Williams. "To Pete Marciano Best Wishes Ted Williams". Inscription on front of jersey is faded. Number on back of jersey is "9". Also includes handwritten ô#9ö on either side of the label. Label on jersey is "Marciano's Sporting Goods, Mansfield, Mass." Both Rocky Marciano and his brother, Pete, were baseball players. Rocky had played on the regionally-famed Taunton Lumber semi-pro team and had tried out for the Chicago Cubs. Although he was described as a "great hitter", his throwing skills were poor and he was not signed by the club. Ironically, it was that same arm that couldn't throw a baseball that certainly could throw the most powerful punches! Both as Rocky's brother and as an accomplished individual in his own right, Peter Marciano was very much part of the sporting community. This jersey - and the two baseball jerseys that follow in this auction - reflect his friendship with legendary ball players. |
