Listing Details

Lovely three-page ALS from the 1940, the pages are each 6 x 9.5. The content is terrific as Combs discusses the 1940 Yankees (the letter is dated 9/10/1940) including our club has been terrible all year except the last month. Bill, Red, Crosetti and Selkirk dropped dead with the bat...I can't picture us winning with this outfit. It is very rare and terrific to find such great content in a letter from a HOFer and Yankee mainstay. Letter is quite clean and signed Earle at the close. JSA LOAA.
