Description

"The Mets' ranking was worthy of the lurid headlines!"

ALS signed “Nelle,” one page both sides, 6.5 x 9, personal letterhead, October 5, 2007. Letter to her close friend and New York neighbor Bruce Higginson, in part: "You nut; the significance of my two favorite NYC papers did not sink in until I'd written you a note. Then their full horror became apparent—the Mets' ranking was worthy of the lurid headlines! Still can't figure out why—maybe they're another Black Sox bunch!" In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in her own hand, incorporating "Lee" into the return address on the flap. The Mets had just completed a historic collapse: after having begun the month of September in first place, they lost 12 out of their last 17 games to finish out of playoff contention.
