Description

Dodgers chief legal counsel and owner (1903-1979) responsible for firing Branch Rickey and unpopularly moving the team 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 National League Baseball Club letterhead, March 3, 1953. Letter to Ellen Zimmerman, in part: "It was thoughtful of you to send me an invitation for April 18th, when you plan to honor Pee Wee Reese. It is very doubtful if I will be there as the last two weeks in April see our various farm teams in opening games throughout the country and I am sure they will have me booked to attend most of these out of town openings." In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and soiling, and old tape along the edges which could be matted out.
