Weighing in at 295 pounds, Walter Brown (d.1966) was certainly a "Jumbo" sized ballplayer. One of the earliest pitchers to work as a dedicated reliever, Brown often came up big for the Yankees and Giants from 1932-1941, though he also had short stints with the Indians and Cubs in the 1920s. Make a big acquisition with this rare Brown single-signed baseball. Brown has signed with his nickname inscription, as Walter "Jumbo" Brown. Displaying ("7-8") strength, this autograph is perfectly situated across the sweet spot of a vintage MacGregor Official League model "B67C" baseball, that rates as (EX) due to minor fading of the factory labeling stamps and light-cream toning.
