Ted Williams, beloved Boston slugger, will be honored by a new exhibit at the Boston Sports Museum. Located in the TD Garden, the new exhibit opened Monday, August 15 and provides highlights of Ted Williams 1941 season with the Red Sox. 1941was the year he hit a .406 batting average, a record that stands to this day. That was his career year when not only did he hit .406, he had 37 HR, 120 RBI, and 135 runs scored.

The exhibit will have Williams' actual locker on display and two of Williams' bats. One bat is from the 1941 All-Star game, while the other is the one Williams used in the 1941 season -- the year he batted .406.

The exhibit will also cover Ted Williams private life outside of baseball. A life that was also highlighted by Williams as a World War ll US Marine fighter pilot from 1943 to 1946. Williams also gave generously to those in need. He was especially linked with the Jimmy Fund of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which provides support for children's cancer research and treatment. Williams used his celebrity to virtually launch the fund, which has raised more that $750 million between 1948 and 2010. Throughout his career, Williams made countless bedside visits to children being treated for cancer, which Williams insisted on going unreported.

Inducted into the Baseball hall of Fame in 1966, Williams was also an avid sport fisherman and hosted a fishing show in his later years. He was inducted into the International Game Fish Hall of Fame in 2000 for his contribution to that sport as well. He is the only athlete inducted into two sports Hall of Fames.

The Boston Sports Museum houses one of the finest collections of film, video, photographs and artifacts such as uniforms, trophies, medals, and equipment, anywhere in the United States. This exhibit will be open to the public for the remainder of the 2011 baseball season.
