"Our team is doing very well at this time and hope that they will be able to catch up with the New York Yankees in a very short time"

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, American Base Ball Club of Philadelphia letterhead, June 17, 1949. Letter to Shannon Fife of the Lake Placid Club, in part: "By this time, Locksley and Folsom are probably with you and sincerely hope that you are all having an exceptionally good time. Our team is doing very well at this time and hope that they will be able to catch up with the New York Yankees in a very short time." In fine condition, with a diagonal crease to the lower right blank area, and light show-through from the PSA sticker on the back. The Philadelphia Athletics had trouble in the second half of the season, and ended up finishing in fifth place in the American League; the Yankees would go on to take the AL pennant and win the World Series.
