I picked up a stellar Jackie Robinson letter written in 1955(year of ws win no less). It was to a Mil. sportswriter regarding a "rhubarb" Jackie had with the Mil. media and ultimately his fist fight with bad arse Eddie Mathews the year prior. I have wanted a special autographed piece of Jackie for some time now and this one fit the bill. I love letters.. the baseball content got me(Jackie backed away from nothing). The envelope was also signed. I am very pleased to add to my 42 collection(Attached a couple photos so you all feel his presence-haha).
