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. Ballpoint signature, “Carl W. Mays,” on an off-white 5 x 3 card with a couple light pencil notations to top. In fine condition, with some light foxing under signature. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
