Autographed by five Negro League Baseball players all of whom played for the New York Cubans. The New York Cubans team was organized in 1935 with mostly Latino players.

Artist R. Michael Armstrong, who also signs here, depicts five New York Cubans players from the 1940s and 1950s in uniform: Rodolfo “Rudy” Fernández Marin (1911–2000), James “Pee Wee” Jenkins (1923–2002), Rafael “Ray” Noble Magee (1919–1998), Armando Vasquez Cotilla (1923–2008), and Claro Duany (1917–1997).  All except Jenkins were natives of Cuba.

“Pee Wee” Jenkins is noted for having pitched for the New York Cubans when they won the 1947 Negro World Series. His championship teammate “Ray” Noble later played Major League Baseball for the New York Giants.
