1918 Johnny Evers Signed Canceled Check BB HOF'er Died 1947 Extremely Rare PSA/DNA
This check is dated July 18th, 1918 and written for $500 to "Cash For Gifts". Evers retired in 1918, having batted .300 or higher twice in his career, stole 324 bases and scored 919 runs. He frequently argued with umpires and received numerous suspensions during his career. His combative play and fights with umpires earned him the nickname "The Human Crab". Evers served as the pivot man in the "Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance" double-play combination, which inspired the classic baseball poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon", written by New York Evening Mail newspaper columnist Franklin Pierce Adams in July 1910. Evers, Tinker, and Chance were all inducted in the Hall of Fame in the same year. This is by far, one of the toughest checks in the hobby to obtain. A true rarity considering the fact that his autograph on a piece of paper is even tough to find. A very rare opportunity to get a rare BB HOF'er in check form. PSA/DNA Authenticated.
