This one of a kind 10 page document dated September 3, 1920 came from the American League office of Professional Base Ball Clubs in Chicago. It documents the long list of players who had violated their playing contracts and were designated as “contract jumpers” or “reserve jumpers”. Each of the listed players was prohibited from playing in the AL again until they were re-certified by the League. Included in this list is New York Yankee Frank “Home Run” Baker, who led the League in homers in three seasons before Ruth re-defined the parameters of that yearly competition. In overall EX condition with two paper clip markings on the front page.
