On Jan. 31, 1928, just after his landmark 1927 season, Lou Gehrig returned to Hartford and addressed the Knights of Columbus, tearfully thanking the city for its "splendid support." During Spring Training that year, he signed hundreds of Senators Booster Club membership cards and even more were printed with his facsimile signature and later distributed. Offered is one of the "facsimile versions" that was just recently discovered. A bit rough, these 4.25x2.5" Boosters' Club Membership Cards are few and far between and rarely become available.
