With the legendary Joe DiMaggio having departed and switch-hitting phenom Mickey Mantle in place, the 1952 New York Yankees continued a run of excellence not equaled before or since. In a dogfight with the Cleveland Indians, the Bronx Bombers authored a 19-5 September in completing their sixth of a record 12 successive seasons of 90-plus triumphs — and, of course, their fourth of an all-time best five straight World Series titles. Offered here is an Official American League (Harridge) baseball signed by 31 members of that vaunted squad. This handsome toned sphere boasts ink autographs that show about "5-7" overall strength. Headlined by a choice Mickey Mantle autograph of the era, other signers on the ball include: Casey Stengel (manager), Bill Dickey, , Billy Martin, Ralph Houk, Phil Rizzuto, Johnny Mize(ss), Vic Raschi (ss), Gene Woodling, Jim McDonald, Jim Brideweser, Allie Reynolds, Ray Scarborough, Ed Lopat, Frank Crosetti, Tom Gorman, Ewell Blackwell, Bill Miller, Jos Ostrowski, Bob Kuzava, Hank Bauer, Gil McDougald, Jim Turner, Charlie Silvera, Joe Collins, Irv Noren and one other. Overall in fine condition with minor toning. We guarantee this lot to pass Third Party Authentication (PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett), and full certification can be arranged for an additional fee.
