That's an incredible piece!
I don't know that I maintain quite as strong a grip on mine, but similar theme. Minor League contracts for Roy Campanella. His initial contract to play in Danville and then his next contract a few weeks later to play in Nashua.
One of a few players to sign a Minor League contract before Jackie broke the color-barrier in the Minor Leagues (I believe he was the 4th African American signed).
