Amazing group of New York Yankees perfect game pitchers and catchers multi-signed 16”x20” photograph and OAL (Budig) baseball. Don Larsen was the first Yankee to throw a perfect game, completed in spectacular fashion versus the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1946 World Series. No one has ever completed such a feat to this day. Yogi Berra was catching for Larsen during the game on October 8, 1956, fitting with his status as a Hall of Fame legendary catcher. David Wells was the next Yankees pitcher to pull off the perfect game on May 17, 1998, alongside another Yankee legend in Jorge Posada. The final pitcher and catcher combo is David Cone and former Yankee Manager, Joe Girardi. This duo completed the perfect game on July 18, 1999. Some amazing Yankee ballplayers collectively autographed this photograph and baseball for an excellent pairing of New York Yankees memorabilia.
Each player signed their name on their person and the pitchers included the dates of their perfect games on the photograph and baseball. The baseball remains in pristine condition, with very clean autographs all around in blue ballpoint pen. The Yankees photograph is accompanied by a COA from Steiner Authentication.
