Limonare was more than a ball player to the Cuban people, he was a hero. A big pitcher in the 1940's, he played for the Washington Senators. Signature in Mint ink except for a small brown spot which rests next to it. Contract itself has some brown spots o/w EX. 1950's Marianao Tigers Cuban Baseball Contracts Outstanding group of "major league" contracts all for and signed by the great Cuban stars of the Negro Leagues.
