This lot offers a bank check signed by Monty Stratton in pencil. The check isn't dated and is for $50 cash paid to himself. Stratton's major league career ended prematurely when a hunting accident in 1938 forced doctors to amputate his right leg. Wearing a prosthetic leg, Stratton played in the minor leagues from 1946 to 1953. His comeback was the subject of the 1949 film The Stratton Story, in which he was portrayed by Jimmy Stewart.
