The history of the National Pastime in the nation’s capital cannot be told without acknowledging Clark Griffith, a legendary player, manager and executive whose life in baseball spanned nearly 70 years. In fact, Griffith served as the Senators’ team president right up until his death in 1955. He remains the only man in major league history to have been a professional player, manager and owner for at least 20 years apiece. Griffith was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1946. Presented here is an exceptionally rare Clark Griffith single. Griffith’s huge sweet spot signature, penned later in his life, is a strong 9/10 on this "Official 97 League" MacGregor ball that dates to the 1950's. He died in 1955. Clear shellac over the signature has yellowed slightly, but ball still displays very well. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
