ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
This is without a doubt, one of the cleanest balls extant of the greatest lineup ever assembled. NY Yankees ball is unmatched in terms of condition. The Sultan of Swat on the sweet spot is gorgeous, rating a 7 out of a possible 10, unblemished and looks very clean. Joined by the other vital part to the best one-two punch of all time, Lou Gehrig (panel). Gehrig's is also nice and dark, rating an "8". The "schoolboy", Waite Hoyt (8) rests on the other panel along with Joe Dugan (6) and Miller Huggins (6). Other signatures include Bob Meusal (7), Herb Pennock (7), & Tony Lazzeri (7). Overall, Official League ball is an 8 out of 10 condition-wise, with an ever so slight cream-colored patina. Murderer's Row never looked so nice. This one just shines!
