Description

“One cannot afford to give in to a pitcher one bit.” And with a .340 average, he didn’t

Baseball Hall of Famer who retired with a .340 average that included 2,812 hits. TLS, one page, 6 x 9, May 23, 1969. Letter of advice to an admirer. In part, “My philosophy on hitting was that there were no pitchers hard to hit. One cannot afford to give in to a pitcher one bit. I would recommend to you…that you tackle problems with the thought that there are no problems that are too hard for you…In other words look for winning instead of losing.” In fine condition. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
