ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, Chase Hotel letterhead, September 23, 1944. Letter to “Shannon.” In full: “Am returning the letter of Lox & Boat as you call them–was not necessary for them to thank me. Our boys have seemed to stop since we left N.Y. Yes it looks like the Yankees are through for the season as far as winning the pennant. Am trying to get players but its [sic] hard to secure anything worth while [sic]–will be more than pleased to see you at any time you can come to Philadelphia.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a few creases and wrinkles, and a small hole to upper left. Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics had swept the Yankees in a three-game weekend series at Yankee Stadium, September 16-17, moving into 5th place, 12 games out. When the A’s had arrived in New York on September 16th, the Yankees were tied with the Detroit Tigers, .5 game behind the first place St. Louis Browns. After the sweep, New York was 2 games out in third place and by the date of this letter, had fallen to 3.5 games behind the Tigers and 2 games behind the Browns with nine games to play. The 1944 season ended with the St. Louis Browns winning the American League pennant over the Tigers by one game; the Yankees finished in third place.
