This 1979 letter features explosive content that we only dream of. He goes into great detail on the 1924 New York Giants tour starting with a list of the entire lineup including: Casey Stengel, George Kelly, Riggs Stephenson, Sewell, Herb Dennock and himself. He talks of the 1911-12 tour and the places they visited (Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila) & best of all, "Our tour was the most extensive of all tours-FAR MORE COMPLETE THAN RUTH'S TOUR." He even mentions master architect Frank Lloyd Wright misnaming him as "Harold" but he got Babe correct. Small stain and folded, otherwise NM.
