Collection: Rabbit Maranville Handwritten Letters

Rabbit Maranville was a Hall of Fame shortstop and second baseman known for his colorful, acrobatic play in early twentieth-century baseball. For collectors, letters written in his own hand offer a direct connection to a player whose personality and career are remembered as much for their character as for their statistics.

This collection consists of handwritten letters attributed to Maranville, spanning examples dated to 1940, 1941, and 1970, alongside letters described as coming from a 1940s hotel, from his Hall of Fame career, and from what is called baseball's golden era, plus a letter dated 1979 and one offered simply as an authentic Hall of Fame autograph. Buyers should examine the handwriting, the paper and any accompanying notation on each letter closely, since condition and legibility vary from piece to piece within this kind of correspondence.
