Description

The American League Base Ball Club of New York check, 9 x 3.25, filled out in type and signed by Ruppert, "Jacob Ruppert," and vertically countersigned by Barrow, "E. G. Barrow," payable to Waite C. Hoyt for $973.04, June 30, 1927. Endorsed on the reverse in fountain pen by Hoyt, "Waite C. Hoyt." In fine condition. Hoyt led the league in wins (22), winning percentage (.759), and ERA (2.63) in 1927 as the ace of the staff of the greatest team in the history of professional baseball! A superb thrice-signed Yankees paycheck from an iconic season, featuring the team's owner, general manager, and dominant right-handed hurler. All three would go on to be elected to the Hall of Fame. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
