Following Miller Huggins’ passing in 1929, it was revealed that the former Yankees skipper was also part-owner of the St. Paul Saints franchise of the American Association. This archive of (22) letters, (3) government postcards, (2) telegrams and a single two-page letter relates to the sale of the nearly 580 shares that Huggins held in the franchise. Being that Huggins was a bachelor, the beneficiary of the sale was his beloved sister, Myrtie. This paper trail between the family and legal professionals neatly details the transferring of shares in the decades old minor league franchise.
