Although many "autograph hounds" concentrate on gathering player signatures, the one-time owner of this EX/MT condition 1952 Washington Nationals yearbook focused on his favorite team's executives! On Pages 2 and 3 of the book -- the pages where the team's front-office honchos are depicted -- three bold blue ink signatures ("8-9") are placed next to high-ranking members' photos. These include Hall of Fame Nationals President Clark Griffith, his son and the team's Vice President Calvin R. Griffith and Sec'y/Treas. Edward B. Eynon, Jr. The esteemed stature of the squad's bosses aside, the Nationals finished 78-76 in 1952, good for 5th Place in the American League. LOA from PSA DNA.
