Description
Baseball Memorabilia Casey Stengel Autograph Letter Signed -- ''…in regards to trades & winter work for the Yankee club…I signed a two year contract at my former figure…'' Autograph letter signed by Hall of Fame baseball manager Casey Stengel, with interesting content related to his activities during the 1954 off-season, a year in which the Yankees won 103 games but didn't reach the World Series. Written to his sister Louise on Casey Stengel stationery, letter is dated 16 October 1954 and reads, ''Dear Louise: Edna & myself had to stay over in N.Y. & Cleveland to see the World Series & then we went back to N.Y. to close out some meetings with the ownership in regards to trades & winter work for the Yankee club. We then flew home by air from N.Y. I signed a two year contract at my former figure but should I get in physical shape not to carry on will retire. We had Harold & Anne out for a visit at the end of the season. This morning's paper states that the Philadelphia club will stay in Philadelphia as 10 men are to put up the money to continue. Sure thought K.C. would & grant or myself that he had them on deposit at the law firm. Personally suggest they make settlement & give the certificates to he left to you (Louise) since you were unmarried & live in the home 4149 Harrison St. K.C. Mo. I will not claim any of the money as am well fixed financially & will pay for any amount cost of the legal transaction. Sincerely, Charles D. Stengel''. Two page letter on two sheets measures 7'' x 10.5''. Mailing folds and closed tear to top of second sheet, reinforced with archival tape. Very good. With an LOA from John Maximilian Lawson III, grand nephew of Casey Stengel.
