The legendary Yankee duo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig appear on this beautiful ONL Heydler ball, which can be displayed to show both at once. The tandem of Ruth and Gehrig terrorized opposing pitchers during the 1920s and '30s, forming the heart of the Yankee lineup referred to as "Murderer's Row." Their potent one-two punch laid the foundation for what is considered to be one of the best teams of all time, the 1927 Yanks, a team that won a then-record 110 games. During their time with the Yankees, the two combined to win four World Series and five AL pennants, ushering in the first incarnation of the Yankee dynasty. Ruth's signature appears on the sweet spot and grades 8/10, while Gehrig's name can be found on the north panel and rates 7/10. The ball grades VG-EX and comes with a PSA LOA and "Ultimate Letter of Authenticity" from JSA. Two of the most coveted names in the industry appear on a ball with tremendous display quality.

Additional Information: The signatures and ball have been graded by PSA. Ruth signatures grades "8" and Gehrig rates "7". The ball grades a "4" for an overall grade of "6". This ball was graded 10 years ago, and PSA has since started to grade just signatures and not the item on which they were signed. The only thing preventing this ball from being a $100,000+ item is the condition of the ball.
