Al Lopez Handwritten Reply to 1-page Typed Letter
<p>Al Lopez responds to an inquisitive, typed letter inquiring about the pampering of batters by umpires and the trend to disallow brush-back pitches. Lopez, in blue ink, while not agreeing, went on to write, "In the days that I played you expected to be brushed back once in a while. We didn't wear helmets."</p><p>Lopez also speaks about Bill Klem having to umpire a little from the side as he was short and, "...catchers were big men in those days."</p><p>Lee's comments run the bottom fifth of the page and continue to reverse side where they are signed, "Sincerely, Al Lopez." </p><p><span style="font-size: 13px;">Letter has fold creasing o/w NRMT. </span></p>
