Spanning three separate dynasties of Yankees excellence, this is a collection of single-signed balls from three men who helped make the Yankees the most successful franchise in sports history. Joe Sewell, shortstop of the 1932 World Series winners, has signed a fairly toned ball in 8/10 blue ballpoint on the sweet spot with “H.O.F. 1977" inscribed, adding "New York Yankees World Champions 1932" and "Cleveland Indians Worlds Champions 1920" to separate panels. Whitey Ford has signed a mostly clean ball in 8-9 blue ballpoint. Don Larsen has signed his on the sweet spot in 7-8 light blue ink: “Don James Larsen World Series Perfect Game Yanks 2 – Brooklyn 0 10-8-56.” The three OAL (Brown) balls show varying degrees of toning, with Larsen's showing the most significant discoloration.
Includes letter of provenance from a longtime MLB executive whose
name will be revealed to the winning bidder. The three balls are pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
