Hall of Fame pitcher known as “Three-Fingers” due to a childhood accident with a feed chopper that took all but about an inch of his right index finger. Brown took over as pitcher, and discovered that his handicap actually worked for him, as it impacted a sharper break to his curve ball. Endorsed J. S. Young, Jr. Oil Producer business check, 8.25 x 3, filled out and signed in another hand, payable to Brown for $50.00, June 3, 1931. Endorsed on the reverse, “Mordecai Brown.” A couple separations long three vertical folds, and expected cancellation holes and stamps, otherwise fine condition. From 1920 to 1945, Brown ran a filling station in Terre Haute, that also served as a town gathering place and an unofficial museum. Rare in any form.
