Circa 1954 Jackie Robinson Fantastic Handwritten Letter
Four pages of Jackie's writing on two sheets of Brooklyn Dodgers spring training stationery. Terrific content throughout, mentioning, "…I am in the best possible shape and expect a really fine season…Pittsburgh tried to buy me, but Bavasi said no unless they gave me $50,000 and the club $150,000. I am sorry the man did not accept (smile)…" Also, "…I promised Rae to watch what I say and do and only the Campanella incident came close to making me blow up. I am glad I held myself but believe me it wasn't an easy thing to do…" And, "…I don't know if I will call it quits or not now because I believe there can be a nice next year…" If he was talking about 1955, he was right! Robinson closes, "Always just Jack." NRMT condition with mailing folds.
