Interesting history. It was signed when the team was in Philly staying at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel, where her aunt worked. The Bellevue later earned the dubious distinction of being the source of the outbreak of what is now called Legionaires’ Disease. The hotel never really recovered from the stigma and eventually went out of business.
