Here's a rare, late-19th Century artifact - a New York Giants Polo Grounds pass for the 1898 season, which was presented to Leib Deyo, purchasing agent and former president of the National Ski Association, as well as the chairman of the Olympic Ski Committee for 1936 Olympic Winter Games. Measuring 4.5x6" and stamped "Sterling" on the back, this pass was displayed in the National Museum of American Jewish History as part of the "Chasing Dreams: Baseball and Becoming American" exhibit. Loaned and owned by Peter Horvitz, author of "The Big Book of Jewish Baseball". Team President Andrew Freedman's signature appears on the bottom front. There is some minor surface wear, otherwise grades NM.
