With a new stadium, a staggering payroll, and a World Series championship drought approaching nearly a decade, there plenty of expectations put on the 2009 Yankees roster. And in true Yankee fashion, the team answered the call, posting an impressive 103 win season while marching through the playoffs en route to a dominating World Series victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Offered here is a Rawlings official Major League Yankee Stadium commemorative baseball, beautifully signed in blue ballpoint pen by twenty-two (22) members of the Yanks' 2009 championship roster. Headed up by skipper Joe Girardi on the sweet spot, other signers on the ball include Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Dave Robertson, Andy Pettitte, AJ Burnett, Nick Swisher, Alfredo Aceves, Robinson Cano, Brett Gardner, Mark Teixeria, Ramiro Pena, Joba Chamberlain, Chad Gaudin, Brian Bruney, Damaso Marte and others. Aside from a couple trivial smudges the signatures on this ball are bold and impeccable. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
