Default FS-Mark Roth Framed and Matted autograph

Cut piece of Paper signed by Mark Roth: The New York Scribe who was credited with naming the Yankees (first used in print in 1904 & later stuck in 1913)... Years later, Roth was hired as the Yanks travelling secretary by Jacob Ruppert and held the post into the Dimaggio years... I also read in a recently published Yankees book that Hotel Concierges would frequently mix up Roth & Ruth's room reservations while on the road... Mark often found his key leading him to a penthouse suite, which the Babe didn't seem to mind because he never slept!!!

Very neat piece of history that is professionally framed and matted with a 1920's Yankees team photo... Roth is in the upper left (Gehrig has his arm around his shoulder)

$125 PP gift shipped
