    Description of “Splendid Fenway Finale” Print: It’s September 28, 1960, at Fenway Park in Boston, and that's 42-year-old legend Ted Williams homering in the final at-bat of his illustrious big league career. The eighth- inning solo shot off Baltimore's Jack Fisher (who also yielded Roger Maris' 60th home run in 1961) lands in the right field bleachers. It is Williams' 29th homer of the season, 521st of his career and 248th at historic Fenway. Williams calls it quits with a career batting average of .344. Of note, the Orioles' third baseman is Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson. Gus Triandos is the catcher, and Jim Gentile is at first.
