An interesting buyer of Ted Williams memorabilia

May 2, 2012

According to a Facebook post by Tim Wiles of the Baseball Hall of Fame Library,

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who bid by phone in this weekends Ted Williams auction, bought Ted Williams’s World War II and Korean War flight log books for $35,600 and planned to send them to The National World War II Museum in New Orleans. Nice work, Mr. Brees!

The auction was held at Fenway Park on April 28 and raised $3.5 million according to one website. Some of the proceeds will benefit The Jimmy Fund, “a charity affiliated with Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for which the slugger helped raise money during his lifetime,” according to ESPN.
