It was a long time coming, but the U.S. Postal Service has approved a Ted Williams stamp—to be joined in a series with stamps for Larry Doby, Willie Stargell and Joe DiMaggio.
Thousands of fans from around the world helped in the effort to get this stamp approved, but none more than Bruce Donahue—past president of the BoSox Club. He deserves the lion's share of credit for persevering through all the ups and downs of the approval process. Congratulations, Bruce! A great Red Sox player and a great American is finally being honored with a commemorative stamp.

Dewey & Aviles At BoSox Lunch
Red Sox legend Dwight Evans (pictured here) and newcomer Mike Aviles addressed today's BoSox Club Luncheon at the Waltham Westin Hotel.
Dewey recounted his memories of both the 1975 and 1986 World Series—divulging that he has yet to watch any highlight films of the latter. Mike Aviles—who came over in a trade from Kansas City at the deadline—is thrilled to have a real opportunity at a ring. He talked about his impressive rise from Division 2 college ball through the minors to the bigs.
The BoSox Club is the official booster club of the Red Sox. You can get to great events like this by joining the club at our main website HERE.
