Typed letter signed by baseball hall of famer Jimmie Foxx to Bill Hewish, declining a position on the Olney High School Program Committee in Philadelphia, “Received your letter of March 27th regarding the Program Committee of the Olney High School. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do what you ask, as being Captain of the team gives me very little time to myself during the day. I have to be at the park quite early in the morning, and then back again for the game. However, if I can possibly make it I will let you know, but I’m afraid it’s impossible. Give my best regards and sincere wishes to all the students…Jimmie Foxx.” Double matted and framed with a photograph of Foxx. The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by 11.5 inches.

Jimmie Foxx was an Major League Hall of Fame baseball player, and is considered one of the greatest right-handed power hitters to ever play the game. He played for the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies, and was the second, and youngest, Major League player to reach 500 career home runs.
