This amazing 1927 New York Yankees World Championship team signed OAL (Ban Johnson) ball displays 22 signatures of the men who made up perhaps the greatest team in the history of baseball. A marvel of completeness & lacking the distraction of non-Yankees signatures, and the ball even includes Joe Giard -- the keystone in determining any signed artifact from the 1927 Yankees team. It has been determined that the signature of Babe Ruth is a clubhouse signature, executed by some member of the 1927 Yankees' staff. The blue fountain pen signatures on the evenly & lightly toned ball range in strength from "5" to "7-8" and averaging "6-7" for strength. The ball itself features very bold stampings, and the players include: Bengough, Collins, Combs, Dugan, Durst, Gazella, Gehrig, Giard, Hoyt, Koenig, Lazzeri, Meusel, Moore, Morehart, O'Leary (coach), Paschal, Pennock, Pipgras, Ruether, Shawkey, Thomas and Wera. This 1927 Yankees team signed baseball comes with a full-service LOA from PSA/DNA
