Alex Pompez-(D) The son of Cuban immigrants, Alejandro Pompez owned the Cuban Stars of the Eastern Colored League, and later the New York Cubans of the Negro National League. Following the demise of the Negro leagues, Pompez was hired as a scout for the New York and San Francisco Giants, where for 25 years he worked to open the door for Caribbean players to enter the major leagues. He helped sign future stars such as Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal and the Alou brothers.

He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame a few years ago when they inducted several Negro Leaguers. We offer this exceedingly rare official Negro National League Uniform Player's contract for the 1947 season NY Cubans and Lorenzo Cabrera who played for the New York Cubans between 1947-50.

He also had a keen eye for picking and developing talent, with more than 10 Negro league Hall of Famers playing for Posey's Homestead squad. During his tenure at the helm, Homestead split its home games between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C., regularly drawing 25,000 to 30,000 fans to contests at Forbes Field and Griffith Stadium. Posey's team won eight of nine Negro National League pennants from 1937 to 1945, including three world titles. We offer a [Cumberland] C. W. Posey signed document. Posey died in 1946, long before the onset of collecting interest in the Negro Leagues and his autograph remains exceedingly rare. Here is a Homestead High School 1941 graduation diploma bearing Poseys exceedingly rare signature, C.W. Posey as director. There are less than 15 Posey autographs known, making his signature one of the most rare of all hall of fame members.
