Even George Steinbrenner's handwriting commands your attention. This 1974 letter from "Big Stein" on Yankees stationery references his suspension for illegal campaign contributions to President Nixon. Written two weeks after his indictment, he reveals: "I don't think any carried more meaning for me than yours did." This rare handwritten letter by the shipping magnate and team owner shows a heartfelt, softer side of George. In fact, it's the best Steinbrenner letter we have seen. JSA LOA included.
