Description

The American League Base Ball Club of New York check, 9 x 3.25, filled out in type and signed by Ruppert, "Jacob Ruppert," and vertically countersigned by Huston, "T. L. Huston," payable to Carl W. Mays for $250, July 21, 1922. Endorsed on the reverse in black ink, "Carl W. Mays." In fine condition. A desirable thrice-signed check featuring the two Yankees co-owners and a three-time World Series champ, a pitcher more notoriously remembered for causing the first and only on-field death in MLB history when he accidentally struck Indian Ray Chapman with a high fastball. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
