Protestant preacher and author (1898–1993) best known for his self-help best-seller The Power of Positive Thinking. TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, January 5, 1990. In response to a fan’s question, Peale writes, in full: “I have your letter in which you want me to tell you ‘Of all the people that you have met during your life, who was the person that most impressed you and why.’ That is a very difficult question because certain categories of personalities are at once eliminated, immediate family, etc. But I think the person who would qualify under your definition would probably be Branch Rickey, who was perhaps the greatest baseball executive of his time. He was top executive of the St. Louis Cardinals, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Brooklyn Dodgers when that club was in Brooklyn in Ebbets Field. I knew Branch practically all my life. He was the most distinguished graduate of my college, Ohio Wesleyan. He was a committed, loyal, enthusiastic Christian all his life. And his objective in life was to make men.” In fine condition.
