Carl Hubbell Question

Yankees001

Does anyone know when Carl Hubbell signature changed? I know it changed after he had a stroke. The only stroke I could find that he had was in 1988. In 1988 he died in a car accident, when he had a stroke while driving.

Their are a lot of After Stroke Signatures out their (most on ebay), so I was wondering when the first one accured.

Let me know if anyone can help.

I found this on Google Archives. Looks like he had one in '77.

Thanks. For some reason I could not find anything.

In 11 years after the stroke he signed a lot.

Thank you again,

Dave,
No problem, glad to be of help. I love looking up old sports stuff on the newspaper articles archive search.

I take it that his pre-stroke sig was the one with the line slashing through the "H"?

Correct.

I do not currently have a scan of one saved. Here is an ebay link to one.
