Carl W. Mays "Greatest Thrill" Handwritten Letter
One-page, handwritten letter on lined notebook paper (torn from a spiral, top-bound notebook) from the former right-hander, Carl W. Mays. Mays, although being quite an accomplished pitcher, is most known for being the man who threw the pitch that killed Ray Chapman. In this letter, clearly written later in life, Mays recalls "greatest thrills" which included ptiching in games that "cinched the pennant for the Red Sox in 1916 and 1918, also the games that cinched the first two pennants for the Yankees." He goes on to mention, "...beating the Giants 3 to 0 on 78 pitches, never had two ball on any batter in the 9 innings." Delightful response. Horizontal fold crease on this NRMT letter.
