Well-worn player release document, certifying to Muddy Ruel that he has been assigned to the Washington Nationals. The 27-year-old catcher had just concluded his second season with the Boston Red Sox, batting .255 in 361 at bats, when he was traded to the Washington Nationals along with Allen Russell, for Ed Goebel, Val Picinich, and Howie Shanks.  Ruel would excel in Washington as their starting catcher, batting .300 in three seasons between 1924 and 1930.  This well-worn official document exhibits significant creasing and paper loss, the key selling point being the dark signature of Boston president Harry Frazee, known as the man who sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees.
