Thats a nice letter Chris.
Thanks for the additional info Bill. That makes the letter even more special. A letter prior to him becoming an announcer. Now wondering if this came from his Estate.

That just isn't any member of the armed services, Warner Fusselle became a pretty famous baseball broadcaster in his own right (do you remember the ESPN show in the late 1980's called MLB Magazine?). Unfortunately, Warner passed away in 2012....

Thanks so much for the information! I had no idea... I just saw the letter and thought it was a neat piece and bid on it.

I picked this up about a week before Stan's passing...
A letter to a member of the Armed Services while Stan was GM in 1967.
Hope you all enjoy -

At a show 5 years ago. When I told him I was going to put my arm around him for the photo but wasn't going to kiss him, he laughed and replied, "that's good!"

That is just an incredible, rare bat, Jeff....awesome and hard to improve upon.
Congrats!
