Outside of my Type 1 photo collecting, I also enjoy rookie signatures(dated). Below is a 3 page letter written by Teddy Ballgame before he was Teddy Ballgame. It is also signed at the bottom. It was written on May 28, 1938 while he played for the Minneapolis Millers.
It has great baseball content:
“Hit a homer the first day in KC but yesterday I didn’t even hit a loud foul. Today I’m going to try to hit another one out. I’ve got 11 already” “Sure is hot here it was 83 the first day here. Next time we hit town it will probably be 100”. “saw the picture Robin Hood, it sure was a good one. I’m telling all the guys about your shooting.”
