Fantastic archival glass framed item featuring the last autograph that Branch Rickey signed. This dissected 1965 Missouri Sports Hall Of Fame Banquet Program has also been signed by George Sisler and Vernon Kennedy. Branch Rickey is of course most often remembered for his signing of Jackie Robinson. Rickey signed this program just before stepping on stage to give a speech at the Missouri Sports Hall Of Fame on November 13, 1965. Rickey collapsed during that speech and never recovered passing away on December 9th of 1965. Great relic and final signature from one a baseball's most important innovators!!! PSA letter accompanies this lot.
