Before the title was bestowed upon Bruce Springsteen, "The Boss" only meant one person - colorful New York Yankees owner George M. Steinbrenner. Official Major League (Selig) ball is signed across the sweet spot "George M. Steinbrenner III," in 5/10 blue ballpoint ink; the ball is nearly perfect, crisp and bright with clear stampings, except for a small, barely-visible abrasion on the panel below the sweet spot. In 1973, Steinbrenner led a group that purchased the struggling Yankees franchise - words that have seldom in history been used together - and helped turn around the fortunes of perhaps the most legendary sports franchise in history, with much headline-grabbing controversy along the way. Comes with PSA LOA.
