About This Item
Inscribed by the author on the first blank. "Best Wishes to R. A. Sobel from "Steamboat" Johnson, Umpire Southern League. This is my first autograph in the city of Chattanooga. April 14th, 1936" on the first blank page. Very uncommon autograph from the Major League umpire who once kicked John McGraw out of two games in two consecutive ganes. Johnson was also the same umpire who forfeited a game against the Detroit Tigers when Ty Cobb refused to leave a game after he was ejected. A classic of baseball literature. Very uncommin in jacket.
