Important document is one page and has three binder holes at the left edge, and shows how the Yankees were losing faith in Ruth's abilities and drawing power. They must have sensed that the end was near but Babe did go on to play another three seasons in the Majors after this document was executed, as the Yankees cashed in $100,000 worth of life insurance that they had on the Bambino. Page is 8.5x11", typewritten, in EX condition, with mailing folds. It is signed by Ed Barrow in 9/10 black fountain ink and also is embossed with the NY Yankees corporate seal. PSA LOA graded 9.
