1999 was the year of Joe DiMaggio's death and David Cone's Perfect Game. It was the Yanks' 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 and has remained a hot collecting sector ever since.

This ball comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication (A57022).
