TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, February 24, 1961. Letter to former Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Max Carey. In part: “I know of no one more deserving of recognition in the Hall of Fame than Max Carey, and will certainly look forward to the pleasure of seeing you in Cooperstown next summer.” In fine condition, with a slightly irregular block of overall toning and pencil notations to the bottom. Carey played in the Major Leagues from 1910 to 1929, and finished his career with a total of 738 stolen bases—a National League record unsurpassed until 1974.
