Standard National League Player's Contract was issued to Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Rex Barney. Measuring 8.5x22" and folding into four neat pages, the offer is in the amount of $5,000 for the 1948 season, dated January 26 and signed by Barney twice, along with Dodgers' owner Branch Rickey. Slight toning at edges, overall EX+ condition. Though Barney had an unspectacular career, this deal paid dividends for Brooklyn as Barney tossed his lone career no-hitter on September 9 of that 1948 campaign.
