Although the founding of Little League was quite a few years off when Cy Young was growing up in the latter part of the 19th century, he played for many amateur baseball leagues during his youth. Decades later, Cy Young would sign this "At Bat With the Little League" hardcover book, written by Little League founder Carl E. Stotz in 1952. Although this appears to have been one child's personal autograph collection, with several unknown names penning their names, by far the feature of this offering is the beautiful, large autograph from Young on the inside title page in blue ballpoint pen. The autograph is near perfection, earning the grade of MINT 9 from the experts at PSA/DNA. In overall fine condition with minor handling wear and no dust jacket. Accompanied by a full Letter of Grading & Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
