The 1972 Yankees may have been a mediocre bunch as evidenced by their 79-76 record, but this signed team ball is far from ordinary. The official American League (Cronin) baseball is NRMT and boasts 30 signatures, including a large "Thurman Munson," who batted .280 that season. The signatures average 8/10 and also include Alou, Stottlemyre, Lyle, McDaniel, Ellis, Hegan, Murcer, Howard, Michael and manager Ralph Houk.
