American sports executive (1859–1925) who owned the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1902 to 1925 and financed the construction of the legendary Ebbets Field in 1912. TLS signed “C. H. Ebbets,” one page, 8.5 x 11, The Brooklyn Ball Club letterhead, April 12, 1916. Letter to Mack D. Wheat. In full: “Troy Club wants you to report in Troy morning of April 17th; purchase your own transportation; they will reimburse you upon your arrival. Hoping you will have a very successful season.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through the last letter of the signature), overall horizontal toning from a magnetic album, and a chip and small tear to top edge. Accompanied by a Brooklyn National League Base Ball Club transmittal envelope addressed in type to Wheat. McKinley ‘Mack’ Wheat was the younger brother of Hall of Famer and Brooklyn great Zack Wheat; although this letter instructs him to report to the minor league club, Mack did spend portions of seven seasons in the Major Leagues, playing alongside Zack for Brooklyn between 1915 and 1919.
