The New York Yankees finished second in the American League in 1933 with a record of 91-59. Though they didn’t capture the pennant that year, the Yankees were still a major force with its star-studded roster, having six Hall of Famers in their batting order and three in the pitching rotation. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig paced the offense, with each Hall of Famer hitting over 30 home runs, 100 RBI, and at least .304.
20 members of the 1933 World Series champion New York Yankees have signed this “Major League Ball Guaranteed 18 Innings” baseball. Babe Ruth’s distinctive signature appears on the sweet spot. Lou Gehrig has signed his name on the adjacent panel. This ball has also been signed by Hall of Famers Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Bill Dickey, Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez and Joe Sewell. Additional signatures include Frank Crosetti, Ben Chapman, Dixie Walker, Wilcy Moore, Johnny Allen, Sam Byrd, Charlie Devens, Eddie "Doc" Farrell, Lyn Lary, Danny MacFayden, George Uhle and Russ Van Atta. The ball displays toning and other age wear, while the signatures are mostly solid. This comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (AJ07051).
