1926 Hap Felsch Handwritten Letter

1926 Hap Felsch Handwritten Letter

Lush two-pager talks in detail about the Scobey team that he and John Meyer play for. Goes into detail about players and the terms of what Meyer wants to play for. He and Chic Gandil were actually competing for players! He is itching to play baseball, "We're having some wonderful weather down here just like summer. Getting the fever now can't wait for the old season to start." Marvelous introspection into the way the banned Sox missed the game and wanted to play whether it was in front of 50,000 people in Chicago or in the backwoods of the "country" for a few die-hards. Signed "Your friend, Hap." 5.5x7". Letter is excellent. Original mailing envelope in his hand postmarked from Milwaukee and has scrapbook residue.The Chicago Black Sox Barnstorming Letter Collection Collection of letters and telegrams to a gentleman by the name of John Meyers who played for several 1920's baseball teams that barnstormed throughout the country. He majored in the Black Sox. He was friendly with some of those banned players that highlighted his tours. The Black Sox were popular to organizers because they could be had for a good price, drew a crowd with the fascination of what had happened to these fallen champions, and they were damn good ballplayers. The following were pulled from a precious scrapbook emanating from Mr. Meyer and are some of the few letter examples that exist of these rare signatures.
