By 1957, it was almost a given that when World Series time came around, the New York Yankees would be in it. In 1957, the Yankees won their 23rd American League pennant, finishing a healthy eight games in front of the White Sox. The team was the perfect blend of veterans like Yogi Berra and Enos Slaughter, youngsters Elston Howard and Bill Skowron and, of course, Mickey Mantle who was in the prime of his career and won his second consecutive American League MVP Award.

     This Reach Official American League Harridge ball has been signed by 25 of the 1957 Yanks including Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford and Enos Slaughter.

The signatures are in blue ball point and this ball comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA(K49986).
