Description: Ben Paschal (D. 1974) played eight seasons in Major League Baseball from 1915 to 1929, mostly for the New York Yankees. After two "cup of coffee" stints with the Cleveland Indians in 1915 and the Boston Red Sox in 1920, Paschal spent most of his career as the fourth outfielder and right-handed pinch hitter of the Yankees' Murderers' Row championship teams of the late 1920s. Paschal is best known for hitting .360 in the 1925 season while standing in for Babe Ruth, who missed the first 40 games with a stomach ailment. He is best known for being a member of the 1927 NY Yankees. Ban Johnson (D. 1931) was the founder of the American League and was baseball's most influential executive for nearly a quarter of a century. As president of the Western League, he changed its name to the American League in 1900 and claimed major league status the following year. Despite opposition by National League owners, the new league quickly proved its competitiveness on the field and at the gate. Johnson became the most significant member of the National Commission, which was baseball's ruling body until 1920. He was elected to the Baseball HOF in 1937. Offered is Ben Paschal’s 1925 contract with the New York Yankees paying him $3000 for the season. Signed by Paschal, Ban Johnson, and Jacob Ruppert (signed on his behalf by future HOFer – Ed Barrow) in black steel tipped fountain pen. Full LOA from PSA/DNA FREE USPS PRIORITY INSURED SHIPPING!!!!
