Sought-after baseball signed in fountain pen on the sweet spot and side panels by 25 members of the 1936 World Champion New York Yankees team, including: Lou Gehrig (ss), Tony Lazzeri, Joe DiMaggio (faded), Bill Dickey, Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez, Earle Combs, Joe McCarthy, Frank Crosetti, Red Rolfe, Don Heffner, George Selkirk, Art Jorgens, Joe Glenn, John Broaca, Walter Brown, Monte Pearson, and others. Annotated in a collector's hand, "St. Petersburg, Florida, 1936." In very good to fine condition, with light scuffing, soiling, and shellacking, none of which adversely affect Gehrig's bold sweet spot signature; several other signatures are quite faded. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
The historic 1936 season marked the rookie debut of Joe DiMaggio, who quickly became a key player alongside all-time great Lou Gehrig. The Yankees dominated the American League with a 102-51 record and won the World Series against the New York Giants, beginning a four-year championship streak.
