Charles Charlie Tidwell Autographed Baseball Photo 1954, Kansas Track Star

Description: Photo will come in frame. This vintage photo captures Charles "Charlie" Tidwell, a legendary track and field player with his 1954 baseball team. This would have been taken right before his fame as a track athlete. Tidwell was an American track athlete who was one of the best sprinter/hurdlers in the world in the years 1958–60. He died in 1969 via suicide. The photo is perfect for collectors of vintage sports memorabilia, especially those interested in track and field. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of sports history. Last time it was purchased was for $3950 at an auction (see back of photo for details). From Wikipedia: Tidwell was a native of Independence, Kansas, where he was a star athlete at his high school. The highlight was a national junior record for the 180 y low hurdles in 1955.[1] After graduating high school he attended the University of Kansas. Tidwell was an outstanding sprinter for his college track team, the Kansas Jayhawks, winning five NCAA individual titles: 100 y in 1959-60 (he was also 2nd in 1958)[2] 220 y in 1960[3] 220 y hurdles in 1958 (he was also 2nd in 1959)[4] so helping the team win back-to-back NCAA team titles in 1959 and 1960.[5][6][7][8] In the 1958 NCAA championships, Tidwell set a world best time in the 220 y hurdles.[7][9] Tidwell also won the Kansas Relays 100 y race in 1959 and 1960, winning Athlete of the Meet in 1959, and for this was honored as an inductee in the Kansas Relays Hall of Fame in 2005.[5][7]
