Original 8.5" x 11" Boston American League Baseball Company letterhead from November 4th, 1943 superbly signed at the conclusion in black ink by Eddie Collins. Letter reads in part: "In order to be a good ball player, one has to first of all love the game above anything else. I was surprised to read that you know as much about my baseball career as you do, especially about the string of four hundred odd consecutive games that I had. This was while I was with the White Sox. As I recall it, the reason this string was broken was because I was seriously hurt on a play at second base, when a player whose name I do not recall now, slid into and hurt my left leg on a force play." Overall in fine condition with minor discoloration, horizontal folds & surface impressions. Authenticated by Beckett/BAS with a full letter of authenticity.
