It was the dawn of a new age in 1977 when the New York Yankees won their first World Series since 1962 and their first under the ownership of George Steinbrenner, a.k.a. "The Boss." Thurman Munson, Graig Nettles and the newly acquired Reggie Jackson led the charge offensively with 100-plus RBI apiece, while Ed Figueroa and Ron Guidry both notched 16 wins. Then, of course, Jackson earned the nickname “Mr. October” when he lit it up in the Fall Classic with a .450 average, 5 HR, 10 runs, 8 RBI and 3 walks, as the Bronx Bombers topped the Los Angeles Dodgers 4 games to 2. It was their second of three-straight pennants and first of back-to-back world championships. A dynasty was born. Offered in this lot is a stunning commemorative black bat bearing the facsimile signatures of the 1977 Yankees players engraved on the bat. There is also text that reads “NEW YORK YANKEES WORLD CHAMPIONS 1977” in green on the bat. The player names and the inscription are rendered in gold and green ink.
