    Paul Molitor's Original 1979 Tour of Japan Signed Contract

    Paul Molitor's playing career ended with impressive numbers -- a career average of .306, 235 home runs, 1307 RBI and 3319 hits. He was elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame in 2004. Known mostly for his line-drive hitting ability, Molitor's 3319 career hits include 605 doubles and 114 triples. In 1996, he drove in a career-high 113 run and hit just nine home runs. His career high was 22 home runs in a season -- coming in 1993 -- and he never hit more than 20 in any other season of his career.
    This is the original contract from Major League Baseball that committed Paul Molitor to play in the 1979 Tour of Japan. This 5-page contract is on original Major League Baseball Promotion Corporation letterhead, which has been hand-signed by Molitor on the last page. Also signed by Joseph L. Reichler on behalf of Major League Baseball. Molitor also dated this contract September 19, 1979. The contract is dated August 3, 1979. Very interesting content related to Molitor's obligations to the 1979 Tour of Japan, including the fact that Molitor was required to bring his own home and road uniform for the tour! Rare find.
