Description

Rare 1928 Yankees baseball featuring Gehrig, Lazzeri, and Pennock—along with Ruth on both sweet spots!

Official Reach American League (Barnard) baseball signed twice in fountain pen by Babe Ruth on both sweet spots, and on the side panels by 17 additional members of the 1928 New York Yankees team. These signers include: Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Stan Coveleski, Bill Dickey, Pat Collins, Johnny Grabowski, Mark Koenig, Ben Paschal, Cedric Durst, Myles Thomas, Mike Gazella, and Gene Robertson, with others indecipherable. Significant overall scuffing, toning, and soiling affecting appearance and legibility of signatures (including portions of Ruth and Gehrig signatures), many signatures indecipherable or nearly so, and a light overall coat of shellac, otherwise very good condition. The 1928 Yankees followed up their legendary 1927 campaign with another World Series win, firmly establishing their ‘Murderer’s Row’ lineup as one of the best in history. With an array of the hobby’s most sought after baseball autographs—and some of the rarest Yankees—this team baseball twice-signed by Ruth is an extraordinary piece of memorabilia. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
