38th President. Typed letter signed “Gerald R. Ford”, February 6, 1984, 7×9, to recently-inducted Baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew, in full:
Congratulations on the Baseball Hall of Fame selection, which is richly deserved. Your many achievements on the ‘diamond’ fully qualified you to be included among the “game’s” greatest performers.
I vividly recall when you broke in the American League in Washington, D.C. as a potential star at the age of 19. You never disappointed your countless fans who knew you would always giver your very best. Your career speaks for itself – excellence.
I am deeply grateful for your many kindnesses and especially your friendship.
Killebrew was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his 4th year of eligibility – Luis Aparicio and Don Drysdale joined him in the 1984 class.
The letter has a hologram from James Spence Authentication on the verso.
A great association between a former President and a baseball great.
