This April 3, 1998 letter is signed by Dodgers' longtime GM Buzzie Bavasi. The letter's content discusses his dislike for Arnold Rampersad's book about Jackie Robinson. He explains, "He made Jackie look like a saint and Campanella as a womenizer. Just the opposite. In one breath he writes about Jackie's loyalty to Rachel and how he hated to go on the road because women chased after him. Then he tells about Jackie's case of gonorhea. Guess Jackie got it from something he ate." The ballpoint pen signature is authenticated by PSA/DNA with a basic COA.
