This government postcard, dated 1946, has been signed by Clark Griffith who was a pitcher, manager and team owner. He began his playing career with the St. Louis Browns (1891), Boston Reds (1891), and Chicago Colts/Orphans (1893–1900). He then served as player-manager for the Chicago White Stockings (1901–1902) and New York Highlanders (1903–1907). He retired as a player after the 1907 season, remaining manager of the Highlanders in 1908. He managed the Cincinnati Reds (1909–1911) and Washington Senators (1912–1920), making some appearances as a player with both teams. He owned the Senators from 1920 until his death in 1955.

Griffith was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946. This signed GPC has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
