Starting shortstop for the New York Yankees 1927 Murderers' Row team, and was the last surviving member of that legendary team. ALS, one page, 5 x 8, December 5, 1978. To former Yankee teammate, Pat. In full: “Many thanks for the nice Christmas gift. The Mrs. and I will be thinking of you while enjoying our Christmas dinner. I sure was a lucky young fellow to be your teammate so many years ago. I know you will have a fine time at the ‘Hall of Fame’ dinner and it is just another feather in your cap. You certainly manage to travel extensively and I guess it is the Nordic blood in your veins handed down from your sea-faring fore-fathers. I hope some day we can get together and as you say talk over old times. I am so fortunate to have you as a friend and I wish you good health and happiness.” Scattered creasing, a uniform shade of toning, an ink notation in another hand in the top right corner, and staple marks in the top left corner, otherwise fine condition.
