$1,695.00
For sale is a Rawlings Official 2001 World Series Baseball signed by 27 players and coaches of the 2001 American League Champion New York Yankees.
This is one of the most IMPRESSIVE collection of signatures from any team in Yankees history. Not convinced? Consider that the ball INCLUDES the autographs of:
ALL the current FOUR Hall of Famers on the 2001 team (Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Mike Mussina, and Joe Torre), as well as the possible future additions to the HOF of Roger Clemens (Very Possible/Likely) and Andy Pettitte (Unlikely/Possible) to that exclusive club. The Yankees last had as many as five HOFers in '05-'06 (with Randy Johnson) and '96-'97 (with Tim Raines and Wade Boggs instead of Mussina), but prior to that, not since the 1960 team.
SIX of the current 23 Yankees with Retired Numbers (26%)
TEN of the current 38 Yankees with Plaques in Yankee Stadium's Monument Park (26%)
ALL of the recent dynasty "Core Four" Players (Jeter, Rivera, Pettitte, and Posada), plus Bernie Williams (often considered as the fifth member of that elite group)
The ball also includes the autograph of game 5 hero Scott Brosius. Many 2001 WS baseballs I have seen omit his signature.

1) Joe Torre (Manager, signed on the sweet spot) * # P
