Once a catcher, but made his mark as a manager. After a stint at the helm of Pittsburgh, he assumed control of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1901 and continued for 50 years until retirement at the age of 88. Mack is best remembered as a dignified, scorecard-waving leader in a business suit, who won five World Series crowns and built two dynasties. FDC with a cachet honoring the baseball centennial, signed under the cachet in black ink, “Connie Mack.” In fine condition, with several light pencil line remnants, including one under signature, and a bit of light toning. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
