1952-53 Terris McDuffie Marianao Tigers Contract
Doing the opposite of Babe Ruth, he started as an outfielder with the Birmingham Black Barons. Then a top pitcher, he went 27-5 leading the Homestead Grays to the 1941 pennant and then won the first ever East-West All-Star Game that same year. In 1945 he had a tryout with the Brooklyn Dodgers, largely to quiet the black press. Branch Rickey would sign his real intention (Jackie Robinson) later that year. Nice big Mint signature with one tiny foxing spot barely touching. Some chewing to the bottom (away from the sig) o/w VG-EX.1950's Marianao Tigers Cuban Baseball ContractsOutstanding group of "major league" contracts all for and signed by the great Cuban stars of the Negro Leagues.
