The 1949 and 1950 New York Yankees both won World Series titles, the first two of an unprecedented FIVE consecutive championships for the Bronx Bombers. This Reach OAL Harridge ball contains 10 signatures of members of both those clubs. Includes: Joe DiMaggio (sweet spot), Tommy Byrne, Gus Niarhos, Yogi Berra, George Stirnweiss, Cliff Mapes, Phil Rizzuto, Jerry Coleman, Tom Henrich and Hank Bauer. There is one other non recognizable signature written well after the original ten Yankees signed this ball. It appears this was the beginning of a 20+ player team signed ball, as many signatures had their usual "placements" but apparently was not finished. All signatures grade ("8-9"), except DiMaggio which rates a ("7"). Full LOA from PSA/DNA, cert number S74109.
