One year after “Dem Bums” ruled the baseball world, the 1956 New York Yankees were World Series champs by virtue of their seven game win over the Brooklyn Dodgers. This Official American League (Harridge) ball has 26 names in all. It’s signed on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen by Hall of Famers Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle. It is also signed by Phil Rizzuto, Elston Howard, Billy Martin, Whitey Ford, and perhaps most notably Don Larsen who pitched his perfect game in the 1956 Series Game 5. Some of the signatures are fading, the ball is cream colored with some toning under the light shellacked finish. JSA/LOA included.
