1929 The Chicago Cubs Sign a 13-Year Old Boy #trendingshorts #baseball #history
That’s good. All right, folks. I want you to meet uh Red Mike Solomon. Red is the youngest boy to have ever signed a major league contract. He will be 13 years old next month. He is known as the best ball player in New York State. The Jewish boy with an Irish face. And I’m sure if nothing happens to Red and he meets with no injuries during the remainder of the season, we’ll win this championship easy. Don’t you think so, Red? Yes. How does your father and mother like for you to be a truck? Great. Great. Well, isn’t that wonderful? I play paid base with my club, the New Yorkers, before I’ve been signed with the Chicago Cubs, and I hope to hold my position with them in the future. I have played third base for my club before the New York one before I’ve been signed with the Chicago clubs and hope to hold my position in the near future. Yeah, Red, I want you to meet some of your future teammates. Mr. Anthony left. Meet Mr. Groot. Charlie Root. Hi, Red. And Mr. Kenneth Turner. Hi. Henry Graham. Another pitcher. Bley Horn. Hi Red. How do you hit left-handers, man? Do it.
