Alexander overcame epilepsy, alcoholism, and harrowing combat during World War I to become one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. He won 30 games each season from 1915 to 1917 and led the league in ERA five times. No other National League pitcher has surpassed his marks of 373 victories and 90 shutouts. Ballpoint signature, “Grover C. Alexander,” on an off-white 4.5 x 1 clipped government postcard. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from James Spence (which incorrectly identifies the signature as being in fountain pen). In fine condition, with toning from old tape affecting opening and closing stroke of signature. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
