The New York Yankees were once again baseball’s premier dynasty in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Bronx Bombers won the World Series in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000, pushing their record number of championships to 26. The 1998 team was perhaps the best of the bunch, compiling 114 regular season wins behind the “Core Four” of Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada.

     This baseball has been signed by 28 members of the 1998 Yankees. Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre signed the sweet spot of this Gene A. Budig Official American League baseball. Other signatures include Hall of Famer Tim Raines, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, David Wells, Darryl Strawberry, Hideki Irabu, Chili Davis, Mel Stottlemyre, Ramiro Mendoza, Ricky Ledee, Luis Sojo, Mike Stanton, Tony Cloninger, Orlando Hernandez, and several more. The signatures have been written in blue pen. This item comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A03430).
