"Happy" Felton's list of credits performing on the stage, TV, radio and in the movies is a lengthy one, spanning his entire adult life. Baseball fans best remember him for hosting several baseball-related television programs in the 1950s, the most famous of which was "The Knothole Gang", broadcast from the right-field bullpen at Ebbets Field before Brooklyn Dodgers home games. He also hosted a Dodgers post-game show titled "Happy Felton's Talk to the Stars". His other baseball-related programs were "Happy Felton's Press Box" before Dodgers road games, and the Saturday morning shows "Happy Felton's Spotlight Gang", and "It's a Hit". Call up your nostalgic memories, with this Felton signed GPC. Postmarked 9/4/56, from the height of Felton's fame, this card hosts a flamboyant ("8") strength pencil signature. SGC has encapsulated this ancient autograph with an Authentic designation, and the label notes his date of death as "Deceased 1964".
