Considered the model umpire of the post-war era, Chylak was a skillful arbiter who earned the respect of players and managers alike during his 25-year major league career. Baseball signed in ballpoint on a side panel, “Play hard and fair, Nestor Chylak, American League.” Light overall toning to ball, a bit heavier over signature and sentiment, and a removed inscription above signature, otherwise fine condition. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
