COVINGTON. GEORGIA. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1962
Ted Williams To Be Guest at
Southeastern Fair Friday, Sat.
Added to an all-star cast of
entertainments and exhibits at
the Southeastern Fair this year
will be the appearance of the
all-time great Ted Williams,
the famous Boston Red Sox
slugger. He will be present on
Friday, September 28 and Sat
urday, the following day. Fri
day has been designated as Ted
Williams Day.
On Friday school children
will be admitted to the Fair
free up to 6 P. M. Admiring
boys and their fathers will
have the chance of a lifetime
to see and talk to one of the
most famous batters of base
ball history. On Friday he will
be in Exhibit Hall, Booth B,
from 2:30 to 4:30 o’clock for
autographing and interviewing.
Beginning at 5:30 he will con
duct a baseball clinic on hitting
techniques at Fair Center. On
Saturday he will be in Exhibit
Hall from 1:00 to 5:00 o’clock.
At 2:30 and 7:30 o’clock Wil
liams will give casting demon
strations with fly and spinning
rods at Fair Center.
Williams, in addition to his
career as the slugging left
fielder of the Red Sox, was a
colorful character who brought
the Boston fans out by tens of
thousands to see him play. Per
haps the most dramatic inci
dent of his big-league career
occurred on September 28,
1960 —two years to the day
before Ted Williams Day at
the Southeastern Fair. After 22
years in baseball, the 42-year
old outfielder was retiring as
a player. This was his final
game. In the eighth inning, his
last time at bat, he belted a
pitch 420 feet into the left
center field stands for the
521st home run of his long ca
reer.
A few months after retiring
he joined Sears’ Roebuck and

time home run record of 521
circuit clouts.
He led the American League
in batting on six occasions,
from 1941 through 1958. He
was known as the “last of the
.400 hitters” because his bat
ting average of .406 in 1941
was the last time in either ma
jor league that a batter has
broken .400. Thus, his record
has stood for 20 years.

place each night at 10:30

thermore, the fireworks pro

Fair President William B.
Hartsfield is particularly proud
of the pyrotechnics. He des
cribes the display as “fire
