Description

1950 Sammy Baugh Signed Contract Rider Dating from the same November 17, 1949 meeting that produced the Standard Players Contract, comes this addendum to the agreement between Baugh and the Washington Redskins. This interesting piece looks to be the written declaration of a side deal to pay 'Slingin' Sammy' a bonus that was not stipulated in the players contract. Written in the form of a letter from team president George Marshall to Baugh, it states that Baugh will receive $3,000 in 1950 for his participation in preseason games. "If agreeable to you," it reads, "please sign at the bottom of this letter in the space provided." Marshall's closing signature and Baugh's signature of compliance are each in perfect 10/10 blue ink. The "letter," on team letterhead, is equally strong. LOAs from James Spence & Steve Grad/PSA DNA and Mike Gutierrez/MGA.
