Snack-bar menu from the famed Catskill resort hotel, Grossinger's, signed by Jackie Robinson on the front cover. Robinson has inscribed the menu "Best Wishes Ben/Jackie Robinson" in blue ink, with the signature grading 9/10. The date, "July 1958," is written in black ink near the base. Grossinger's was perhaps the most famous of the Borscht Belt hotels located in the Catskill Mountains. While only speculation, Robinson most likely signed this program for a fan during a vacation trip to the hotel during the summer of 1958, which was two years following his retirement from baseball. The fold-over menu (6.5x9.5") remains in Excellent condition. Full LOA from JSA.
