The 1969 New York Yankees were a team in transition. Mickey Mantle had just retired and the team struggled in the newly formed American League Eastern Division. However, 1969 saw the debut of future captain and Yankee legend Thurman Munson, who played his first ever game on August 8th.

      Offered is an Official National League Warren Giles baseball signed by 18 members of the 1969 team in black ink, including a signature from a young Thurman Munson. The cream colored baseball is in excellent condition and the stamping is clear, with minor bleeding on the commissioner’s stamp. Mel Stottlemyre signed his name on the sweet spot with the panel below containing Munson’s signature, along with Jerry Kenney, John Ellis, Tom Shopay and Al Downing. Another panel has Dave McDonald, Ron Woods, Bill Burbach, Lindy McDaniel and Jack Aker. The panel above the commissioner’s stamp contains the signatures of Horace Clarke, Steve Hamilton and Mike Kekich. The panel with the “CUSHIONED CORK CENTER” stamp has the signatures of Bill Robinson, Jake Gibbs, Stan Bahnsen and Len Boehmer. This multi-signed baseball comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA (AA07858).
