WAITE C. HOYT. TLS: "Waite", 1p, 7¼x10½. Cincinnati, Ohio, 1966 January 6. On his personal imprinted stationery. To Dan, in full: "Thought I'd better let you know I will be driving to Florida starting Jan 21st--and I expect to arrive in Clearwater, the night of Jan 22nd. Should you want to reach me, my address, Waite Hoyt, Belleview Biltmore Villas, P.O. Box 1019, Clearwater, Fla. Phone: Area Code--813--then, 446-2365. I have made arrangements to fly up from Tampa Jan 29th, arriving sometime early in the afternoon. I would like to say (sic) at the Americanna, so would you have the gent in charge of such arrangements make a reservation for me at that Hotel. I assume your ticket representative notified the A.L. Burbank Co, and has been in touch with them. I wrote my brother in law everything was in order, and I am sure as soon as you present the statement the check will be forthcoming. I will return to Florida Jan 31st. I guess that takes care of everything. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Meanwhile the best to you and the gang". Hoyt was a mainstay on the pitching staff of the great Yankee teams of the 1920s. The right-hander pitched for New York from 1921 to early 1930 and had a record of 157-98 in pinstripes. He was 23-7 in 1928 and also led the AL with eight saves. In 1927 he was 22-7, and he won 19 in 1921 and '22. In 1927 he led the AL in wins (22), ERA (2.63), and winning percentage (.759). He spent the last seven years of his career in the NL, which he led in relief wins in 1934 (7) and 1935 (5). In 1941 Hoyt moved to the broadcast booth. He was the voice of the Reds until his retirement in 1965. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1969. Lightly creased. Glue remnants on verso lightly show through at upper and lower blank margin.
