Lot #678 Contract Gleason, Kid Cond: 9
William J. Kid Gleason played from 1888 - 1912 for several teams. He amassed 1,944 hits and batted .261 for his career. He went on to manage, oddly enough the 1919 Chicago White Sox was the first time he managed (he managed the White Sox from 1919 - 1923). Gleason died in 1933, and happens to be an extremely scarce autograph. As the manager of the 1919 Black Sox, he is of course a vital signature to any collection of that team. The offered lot is a superb original coaches contract for Gleason to work for the mighty 1930 Philadelphia Athletics. Perfectly clean contract is signed William Gleason in bold period fountain pen. This fully executed contract is also signed by A.L. President Barnard and team vice president John Shibe and is a very desirable signed contract. JSA LOAA.
Winning bid: $400.00
