This tremendous multi-signed New York Yankees baseball spans generations of Pinstripe legends and is a veritable history of the club. It's important to note that our consignor obtained each of these signatures personally while attending various Yankees Old Timers games during the 1970s and 1980s, and the ball has remained in his sole possession until now. In addition to its unique provenance, the ball is especially notable for being one of the few we have seen to feature the signatures of Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Roger Maris. A total of 36 signatures are jammed onto this unused Official American League (MacPhail) ball, which has bold stampings and is crisp and white except for one toned panel to the left of the main stamp. The thirty-six signatures featured here (note that the sweet spot is triple-signed) are those of Mickey Mantle (sweet spot), Joe DiMaggio, Roger Maris, Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Phil Rizzuto (on ball label) Lefty Gomez, Johnny Mize, Reggie Jackson (sweet spot), Dave Winfield, Catfish Hunter, Don Mattingly Tom Tresh, Bobby Shantz, Gil McDougald, Jim Coates, Vic Rashi, Tommy Henrich, "Spec" Shea, Bill Skowron, Tony Kubek, Bobby Richardson, Bob Grim, Luis Arroyo, Allie Reynolds, George Selkirk, Mel Allen, Bob Sheppard, Hank Bauer, Charlie Keller, Ryne Duren, Ben Chapman, Marius Russo, Hank Borowy, and Spud Chandler (sweet spot). Full LOA from PSA.
