Description

Contract, signed “Edward T. Collins,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 8.5 x 11, June 27, 1931. American League uniform employee’s contract in which Eddie Collins agrees to render "skilled services as a baseball coach...during the year 1931" for the Philadelphia Athletics, for “1.00 & other consideration.” Signed at the conclusion in fountain pen by Collins and countersigned by A’s Owner John Shibe and Connie Mack's secretary and business manager Bob Schroeder. The reverse is signed by American League President William Harridge. In fine condition, with toning to back page. Following his last season as a player in 1930 for the A's, Collins's natural transition to coach yielded the Athletics another trip to the World Series in 1931.
