(LOT 158)
Leo Durocher Signed Canceled Check PSA/DNA 9 MINT
EXTREMELY SCARCE, Leo Durocher signs this check written out for $1,200 to MARVIN HIME & CO. on 1/4/81. Ranked 5th All-Time among managers with 2,008 career victories, second only to John McGraw in NL history. Durocher still ranks tenth in career wins by a manager. A controversial and outspoken character, Durocher had a stormy career dogged by clashes with authority, the baseball commissioner, the press, and umpires; his 95 career ejections as a manager trailed only McGraw when he retired, and still rank fourth on the all-time list.
