Scarce early DS signed “Theodore Williams,” one page, 8.5 x 11, July 23, 1946. Williams signs an agreement to be represented by sports promoter and agent Fred Corcoran. In full: “I hereby employ ‘Fred Corcoran’ to represent me and act as my Manager for a period of five (5) years starting ‘July 25,’ 1946, through to ‘July 25,’ 1951. He is hereby authorized to represent me in all contracts, all personal appearances, movies, endorsements, radio, newspaper, and magazine articles under my name. He is to receive ‘15%’ and will pay his own expenses.” The document is also signed by Fred Corcoran and golfer Victor Ghezzi. During the period of this contract, Williams endorsed a variety of products from cars (Dodge), car wax (Johnson Wax), motor oil (Texaco Havoline), and even cigarettes (Chesterfield), despite being a non-smoker. Horizontal fold through Williams’s signature, light offset from carbon, and a couple of small creases, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a blank sheet of Ted Williams Enterprises stationery listing Williams, Corcoran, and Paul Brophey along right edge. A scarce example of his more formal signature from the middle of the season during which he lead the Red Sox to the World Series.
