Pitcher Spud Chandler played 11 seasons with the Yankees, winning 20 games twice - in 1943 and 1947.  In his 1943 season, he posted an .833 winning percentage and a 1.64 ERA.  He missed most of two seasons due to the war, and retired with a lifetime winning percentage of .717 - the highest of any pitcher with at least 100 wins since 1876.  The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.
