Clark Griffith Large Autograph Personalized to Bert (Sugar).
Lot 467. Clark Griffith Large Autograph Personalized to Bert (Sugar). Griffith’s signature extends 4.5” across Washington Senators’ stationery that lists him as the team president. JSA Authentication and Kevin Keating both authenticated the autograph, which is nm-m 8 to mint 9. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1946 as a pioneer and executive, Griffith pitched for seven major league teams, 1891-1914. He won more than 20 games seven times on his way to a 237-146 career record. As a manager, he guided the Chicago White Stockings to a pennant in 1901. In 1920, he and a Philadelphia grain exporter purchased 80 percent of the Washington Senators. With him as an owner, the Senators won pennants in 1924, 1925 and 1933, and a world championship in 1924. He died in 1955. A letter signed by Mrs. Sugar is included; it verifies that this item is from Bert Sugar’s collection. The JSA Auction Letter of Authenticity may be exchanged for a full LoA at a discount.
Winning Bid $92.
