Stunning 1927 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball. One Of The Finest In Existence!
Of the twenty-seven pinstriped editions to deliver World Championship glory to the fans in the Bronx, this Golden Age club stands in baseball lore as the finest of the lot. In fact, this club is the answer most commonly given by baseball experts and historians when pressed to name the greatest baseball team of all time, bar none. When one considers the roster made available to Hall of Fame manager Miller Huggins, the reasoning behind this wide consensus becomes clear. The all but supernatural slugging powers of home run king Babe Ruth and season MVP Lou Gehrig fed an unprecedented offensive onslaught that saw the Yanks almost quadruple the American League team home run average. Earle Combs topped the League in both singles and triples. Bob Meusel and Tony Lazzeri each reached triple-digits in the RBI column. So deadly were the bats that stacked the Yankee line-up that sportswriters referred to the club with the rather sinister moniker "Murderer's Row."
Presented is a team signed sphere from the greatest team in Major League history. The roster is a dead match to that unstoppable force, but the presence of relief pitcher Joe Giard alone assures the vintage, as he'd play only a single season in pinstripes. But, of course, the marquee figures are the primary appeal, with Hall of Famers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Waite Hoyt, Earl Combs and their diminutive ringleader Miller Huggins, who would perish before the decade was over, as would star pitcher Urban Shocker. Twenty-five signatures appear in total, with all but a few on the upper half of the grading scale. Ball is a "Spalding Minor League" model. Comes with Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
