No franchise in Major League Baseball can match the storied history of the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers own 27 World Series titles, 16 more than the next closest team, and have seen countless stars suit up in Yankees pinstripes in the club’s more than 100-year existence. This signed New York Yankees Cooperstown bat remarkably features over 60 signatures from an array of players spanning different eras. Everyone from five-time World Series champion pitcher David Cone to Bob Watson, the man who scored the 1,000,000th run in MLB history, have signed this bat in bold, blue Sharpie. Other standout signatures include Tino Martinez, who won four World Series titles with the Yankees, Ron Guidry, the 1978 AL Cy Young winner, John Wetteland, the 1996 World Series MVP, and six-time All-Star Graig Nettles. Other signatures include Jesse Barfield, Don Zimmer, Mariano Duncan, Steve Sax, Jimmy Key, Jerry Kenney, Jeff Reardon, Fritz Peterson, Bob Turley, Charlie Hayes, Roy White, Ricky Ledee, Steve Howe, George Scott, Bill Renna, Wally Whitehurst and plenty more. The bat features a Yankees logo on the barrel and “Cooperstown Bat Co.” just above the handle where the barrel begins. A red wrap-around stamping at the top of the handle reads “Major League Team Series.” The knob of the bat is engraved with “35” and “05” on two separate lines. Bat has been pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
