Lot # 1020: Grover Cleveland Alexander Handwritten and Signed "Most Thrilling Experience" Letter - 1926 World Series Victory - JSA

"Old Pete" dives into postseason glory with the offered Grover Cleveland Alexander (d.1950) handwritten and signed letter. Measuring 5-3/4 x 8-3/4" (folded in four) and mounted on black album paper with reverse paper loss/residue, this piece is part of an exceptional autograph collection offered in this auction, in which legends of the game recount their most thrilling memory. The Class of 1938 Hall of Famer and 373-game winner relates "...my biggest thrill came in the last game of the 1926 Worlds Series when I went in the the bases full and struck out Lazzeri and then held them the rest of the game." Executed in black ink, with exception to two spots of residue on the bottom of the page, this archival piece still presents admirably. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.
