Arky Vaughan, Letter Handwritten and Signed "Arky" to a Close Friend. Rare. (1912-1952) Joseph Floyd "Arky" Vaughan played 14 seasons in Major League Baseball, between 1932 and 1948 mostly as a shortstop, for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Brooklyn Dodgers. He is recognized as one of the greatest shortstops in baseball history and superior hitter. Such an incredible player that rarely makes "the lists" but its likely due to his tragic early death at only 40 trying to save a friend from drowning. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985.Offered is a hand-signed letter to a friend named Chas. Clearly his friend had sent photos for him to sign, but three were taken "at the club" for which he apologizes. He then signs off saying he will be seeing him in the fall and to brush-up on his 500 quail shooting and a hello to wife and kids. Signed "Arky"Autographs, never mind a full handwritten letter by Arky Vaughan are all together rare.6.75 x 5.25" written on stiffer note paper and the entire letter and signature comes with a Letter of Authenticity from Beckett. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500
