Superb TLS, one page, 6.75 x 8, personal letterhead, June 12, 1940. Response to an admirer. In part: “Naturally, I do not care so much for the way they play the present day baseball. I think they have destroyed the value of the one run which eliminates the finer points of the game, such as the ‘stolen base,’ the ‘Hit n Run’ and the ‘Squeeze’ play.” In fine condition, with slightly trimmed edges. Cobb had watched baseball transition into a sport of sluggers, rather than stealers and squeezers—while Cobb had averaged nearly 50 steals per season during the ‘dead ball’ era, by 1940 the league’s leaders averaged only around 20. Fantastic content from arguably the greatest player of all-time.
