Description

The ‘Old Flash’ heads to Cooperstown and “should be a dandy this year with the induction of Yogi Berra, Koufax”

Played on more pennant winning teams than any other National League player. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 10.5, June 28, 1972. Letter to a longtime friend. In part, “The old Flash has been in and out of the hospital for the past few months and has lost a lot of weight which is good. I had pneumonia which turned out to be a lot rougher than I ever dreamed it could be. Three or four nice engagments had to be passed up but believe me I am going to get in sound condition to make our annual trip to Cooperstown. This is a great affair and should be a dandy this year with the induction of Yogi Berra, Koufax, amd [sic] the other newly inducted members of the Hall of Fame.” In fine condition, with a light shade of toning, a bit heavier at edges, and a small clipped photo affixed to bottom edge. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
