Ted Williams Museum and Hitting Hall of Fame
I went to a Rays game last night and final got a chance to go to the Ted Williams Museum and Hitting Hall of Fame. I snapped some pictures while I was there and thought I would share them with y'all. They are not the best and I didn't get I shot of each of the display since I only had about 20 minutes until the game started (I wasted too much time getting my BP balls signed to REALLY enjoy the museum :[).
2007 World Series Champs
The bronze statue of Ted is right in the entrance of the first floor. My friends and I took a picture of it all replicating his stance.
Pennant from the 1946 World Series
Funny story about the ball in this display. It is actually a ball that Ted had Babe Ruth sign for him. It was stolen about 27 years ago and we recovered right before the museum opened up the second wing at Tropicana.
500 Club + some memorabilia from some of the 500 games.
Triple Crown goodness
According to the one of the curators, TWM is the only in stadium museum to have a display dedicated to Japanese players.
Autographs of players young and old!

Jackie Robinson's display
The cover of the Times the day after Teddy died was a obituary covering his entire life and influence on baseball for generations to come.

June 9, 1946; Detroit vs. Boston; Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21; 502 ft.
I also have a couple pictures from the game, but our seats were on the first baseline behind the Rays dugout so my happy little digital camera couldn't get any as amazing as the pictures usually posted here.
