John McGraw is still considered among the best managers in baseball history, having parlayed a strong playing career into a legendary bench stint in the early 1900's. This is a 1932 New Year's Eve dinner menu signed inside in bold, thick pencil by the Hall of Famer. It is dated December 31, 1932, just over a year before his death in 1934, and measures 8.25x11.25 on heavy card stock, folded into four panels. There is some staining on the card but McGraw's autograph - along with two others - presents magnificently. The man nicknamed "Little Napoleon" amassed an incredible 2,669 victories, the most all time in the National League and second overall only to Connie Mack.
