Default San Quentin Prison,

Barry,

That is my thoughts as well... I am usually fairly good at finding things online, but I cannot find a single example of Schneiders signature

Interesting note about Pete is that he was convicted of Manslaughter and imprisoned in San Quentin... 1-10 years.

Schneider’s life after baseball is not quite as successful as his playing days … moving to Los Angeles, he enters the insurance business … on May 30, 1935, he is convicted of manslaughter in the death of Gustavo Schnabel in a bar fight ... Schneider’s defense is that Schnabel had been “assertedly disrespectful” toward his wife … undeterred, Judge Charles Burnell sentences him to serve 1 to 10 years at San Quentin Prison in California.
While imprisoned at San Quentin, Schneider gains attention as the manager of the prison’s all-star baseball team … on June 1, 1957, Schneider dies in Los Angeles after a long illness at the age of 61.
