Four-page fold-over contract, dated December 26, 1957, between Carl Furillo and the Brooklyn National League Baseball Club, Inc. The one-year agreement, for the 1958 season, calls for Furillo to receive a salary of $33,000. It has been signed in blue ink by both "Carl A. Furillo" (grading 7/10) and Dodgers Vice President "E. J. Bavasi" (grading 10/10). Despite the official corporate name, the Dodgers left Brooklyn after the 1957 season and moved to the West Coast in 1958, making this a Los Angeles Dodgers inaugural-season contract. The contract (8.5x11") displays two horizontal folds and is in Excellent to Mint condition.
