Presented is a lot of two single signed Official American League baseballs from former New York Yankees greats Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. The first item in this lot is an Official American League Gene A. Budig baseball, signed by DiMaggio in blue ballpoint pen on the sweet spot. "The Yankee Clipper" played center field his entire 13-year career in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees. He is widely considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time and is perhaps best known for his 56-game hitting streak (May 15–July 16, 1941), a record that still stands. DiMaggio was a three-time Most Valuable Player Award winner and an All-Star in each of his 13 seasons. During his tenure with the Yankees, the club won 10 American League pennants and nine World Series championships. This ball comes with a LOA from SGC (AA10330).

The second item in this lot is an OAL Brown baseball signed by Mantle in blue ballpoint pen on the sweet spot. Mantle played his entire 17-year MLB career with the New York Yankees as a center fielder and first baseman. Mantle won the Triple Crown in 1956, when he led the Majors in batting average (.353), home runs (52), and runs batted in (RBI) (130). He was an All-Star for 16 seasons, playing in 16 of the 20 All-Star Games that were played, and was the American League MVP three times. Mantle appeared in 12 World Series including seven championships, and he holds World Series records for the most home runs (18), RBIs (40), extra-base hits (26), runs (42), walks (43), and total bases (123). This ball comes with a LOA from SGC (AA10331) and a COA from Upper Deck Authenticated (AUB40016).
