The man responsible for firing Branch Rickey and the team’s unpopular move from New York to Los Angeles. He was posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008. TLS signed “Walter F. O’Malley,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Brooklyn Dodgers letterhead, August 12, 1952. Letter to a disgruntled ticket buyer. In part: “Our aim is to clean up our ticket selling situation and we can only do it when people like yourself write. I find only one nice note in all that you wrote. At least the ticket seller did not demand the $1.00 bonus. We cannot prevent them from taking a tip if it is offered, but we can prevent them from holding back good seats for people who pay extra…If you will write to Harold Parrott mentioning this letter, I know that he will be happy to have you as our guest at some future game.” Intersecting folds, and some light soiling to right edge, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
