    Details
    Album page signed by members of the 1920 Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees, including the exceptionally scarce signature of Ray Chapman (1891-1920) who tragically died after being hit in the head by a pitch thrown by New York Yankees pitcher Carl Mays, on August 16th, 1920. Chapman remains the only player in Major League baseball history to die from injuries sustained in a Major League game. In addition to Ray Chapman, the sheet is signed by Hall of Famer Tris Speaker, Joe Wood, Harry Lunte, Jack McCallister, Leslie Nunamaker, Jack Graney, Pat Collins, Jimmy Austin, Joe Gideon and most remarkably by Carl Mays, in pencil. Also signed at a later date by Basketball Hall of Famer Cliff Hagan of the St. Louis Hawks in blue ink.
