uniform
Photograph signed: "Elbie Fletcher". B/w, 8x10. Elbie
Fletcher (1916-1994) reached the Major Leagues in an unusual way. The
Boston Braves held a contest in which fans voted for a high school
athlete deserving a tryout with the team. Fletcher's family and friends voted
multiple times, but Elbie made the team anyhow. He played for the National
League Braves and the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1934 to 1949, interrupted
by World War II, making the All-Star team in 1943. An outstanding defensive
first baseman with a fine eye at the plate, he led the NL in on base percentage
three times and in walks twice, and was at or near the top in all the defensive
ratings year after year. Creased. Lightly worn. Otherwise, fine
condition.
