The 1947 Triple Crown Season
The back of this card tells the story: in 1947, Williams won his second Triple Crown with 32 home runs, 114 RBI, and a .343 batting average. He also hit 40 doubles, scored 125 runs, and drew 162 walks — so feared at the plate that American League owners allegedly instructed pitchers to let him swing more often. He capped the season with eight game-winning home runs.
Fun Fact
⚾ Ted Williams is the last player in Major League Baseball history to hit .400 in a season, batting .406 in 1941. He famously refused to sit out a doubleheader on the final day of the season to protect his average — and went 6-for-8 to finish at .406. That standard has stood for over 80 years.
