Inscribed Signature: "To Kayo/Bill Stern", 4¼x3 card with

radio, TV, and film newsreel sports commentator, originally covering
football and boxing. On May 17, 1939, he covered the first baseball game ever
televised: Princeton vs. Columbia. He appeared in the 1942 film The
Pride of the Yankees, and wrote a popular book, Bill Stern's Favorite
Baseball Stories (1949). He passionately promoted the theory that 19th
century pitcher Fred Goldsmith, not Candy Cummings as many others claim, was the
inventor of the curve ball. Stern entered the Radio Hall of Fame in 1988. Very
lightly creased at corners. Fine condition.
