It was the year of Joe DiMaggio's death and David Cone's Perfect Game. It was the New York Yankees' second straight World Series sweep—a franchise feat previously accomplished only by the Ruth-led and DiMaggio-led clubs of the late 1920s and late 1930s. It was a Fall Classic highlighted by Chad Curtis' Game 3 walk-off homer. For these and other reasons, the last Bronx Bomber season of the millennium was one for the ages.
26 members of the 1999 World Series champion New York Yankees have signed this 1999 World Series baseball.

Other notable signatures include David Cone, Roger Clemens, Willie Randolph, Paul O’Neill, Tino Martinez, Don Zimmer, Ramiro Mendoza and Jim Leyritz. This ball is inscribed “198/250” above the sweet spot and comes with a LOA from JSA.
