Presented is a Billy Martin autograph on a OAL Brown Rawlings baseball. Martin has signed his name in blue ink to the right of the blue-stamped Rawlings logo on the white leather ball. He is best known as the manager of the New York Yankees, a position he held five different times. As Yankees manager, he led the team to consecutive American League pennants in 1976 and 1977; the Yankees were swept in the 1976 World Series by the Cincinnati Reds but triumphed over the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games in the 1977 World Series. He also had notable managerial tenures with several other AL squads, leading four of them to division championships. Martin had a distinguished playing career in the 1950s, highlighted by his years with the Yankees during which he performed at a high level in appearances in the World Series. This item is accompanied by a LOA from JSA (Z26671).
