Among the most unsavory characters in the history of the game, Chase was an oddly charismatic star. He was considered by contemporary observers to be the best-fielding first baseman ever, but he repeatedly threw games for the quick money he could make betting against his own team, and he was eventually banned for life. Vintage ink signature, “Hal Chase,” on an off-white 5.5 x 3.25 government postcard. In fine condition, with light corner creasing and postmark impression. COA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
