The 1951 World Series would be a turning point in MLB history. With two wide eyed rookies in Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays, baseball as we know it was about to change. Offered here is a team signed Official American League (Harridge) baseball featuring 25 members of the 1951 World Series Champion New York Yankees. Notable signatures include a vintage Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, Ed Lopat, Bobby Hogue, Billy Martin, Vic Raschi, and Allie Reynolds. Overall in fine condition with an even fading to the ball and signatures, and some light chipping across the surface of the ball. Please note that the Joe DiMaggio autograph on the sweet spot, as well as the Jerry Coleman autograph, have been deemed "clubhouse" by the experts. Accompanied by full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
