This original New York Yankees check is dated May 15th, 1925. The check is made out for $2000 and written to "The American League Baseball Club of N.Y. Inc."
The check features a bold signature from former New York Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert.
Jacob Ruppert (1867–1939) was a prominent American businessman and sports executive best known for his ownership of the New York Yankees baseball team. Born in New York City, Ruppert inherited and expanded his family's brewing business, becoming one of the wealthiest men in the city during the early 20th century. His tenure as the owner of the Yankees, which began in 1915 and lasted until his death in 1939, marked a transformative era for the franchise. Under Ruppert's leadership, the Yankees became a dominant force in Major League Baseball, winning numerous championships. Perhaps most notably, he was responsible for the acquisition of baseball legend Babe Ruth in 1920, a move that significantly contributed to the team's success and established the Yankees as a powerhouse in the sport. Ruppert's impact on the Yankees and his role in shaping the team's legacy as one of baseball's greatest franchises have left an indelible mark on the history of American sports.
