Default Does anyone have an autograph of this guy?

Does anyone have an autograph of Eddie Bennett, the hunchback midget batboy of the Yankees in the 1920's? My understanding is that the Yankees snatched him from the Dodgers after the 1920 season because they saw him as a good luck charm after the Dodgers went to the 1920 World Series.

Seeing that autograph collecting wasn't common for players back then, much less anyone else associated with a team, the requests were few if any. The fact he died in 1935 also adds to the rarity. I am thinking that if no one on here has one, then one probably doesn't exist.
