^Lot 1450 Rogers Hornsby

Hall of Famer. A two-time MVP and two-time Triple Crown winner, was the player-manager of the Cardinals’ first World Championship team in 1926 and was the first National League player to hit 300 home runs. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, St. Louis Browns letterhead, May 22, 1952. Letter to a man in New Jersey. In full: “I am in receipt of your letter of May 17, but due to other pressing matters, I am unable to answer all your questions at this time. From what I read, your new scoring technique for competitive ability, has possibilities. I would be happy to discuss the problem with you when your club plays in New York.” In fine condition, with some light toning to edges. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. In 1952 Henrich wrote to many Hall of Famers, including Hornsby, Ty Cobb, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and others, about a new idea he had for keeping score in baseball games.
