Offered is a Clark Griffith signed cut with eight other signatures. Griffith, the Hall of Fame owner of the Washington Senators, signed his name in gray graphite pencil in the center of a 4 x 5½-inch white cut sheet. Other signatures on the cut, also in gray graphite pencil, include Roger Cramer, Bob Doerr, Paul Schreiber on the front and Johnnie Marcum, Bucky Harris and Ken Chase on the reverse. Griffith began his MLB playing career with the St. Louis Browns (1891), Boston Reds (1891), and Chicago Colts/Orphans (1893–1900). He then served as player-manager for the Chicago White Stockings (1901–1902) and New York Highlanders (1903–1907). He retired as a player after the 1907 season, remaining manager of the Highlanders in 1908. He managed the Cincinnati Reds (1909–1911) and Washington Senators (1912–1920), making some appearances as a player with both teams. He owned the Senators from 1920 until his death in 1955. Sometimes known for being a thrifty executive, Griffith is also remembered for attracting talented players from the National League to play for the Senators when the American League was in its infancy. This item has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA (82028229) and Griffith’s signature has been graded Authentic.
