The 1955 AL Champion Bronx Bombers were second in league offense (thanks to Berra and Mantle) and first in pitching, owed to the excellence of Whitey Ford and career years from Turley and Byrnes. However, in 1955, the perrenial "Charlie Brown" (Dodgers) became Lucy as they beat the Yankees in the World Series for the first time in five tries. This sample ring is embossed "American League Champions: and features the Yankee top hat logo against red, white and blue colored stones. Both sides have an embossed baseball and an embossed "1955" above. "SA 69698 - bank" stamped inside. Sample rings are exactly the same as player rings made of 14kt gold with Balfour stamping. This ring does not have real stones. For the decade, the Yankees won six World Series championships ('50, 51, '52, '53, '56, '58) and eight American League pennants (those six plus '55 and '57). Ring is size 10 1/2. Excellent overall condition with minor wear from use.
