American League pitcher, unfortunately remembered for one tragic, misguided pitch that struck Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman in the head. Chapman collapsed at home plate and died the next day at a New York hospital without ever regaining consciousness. Two ballpoint signatures, “Carl W. Mays,” on individual off-white 5 x 3 cards. In fine condition. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
