The awe inspiring Bronx Bombers of 1927 boasted the notoriously known lineup, “Murderer’s Row”. Anchored by the great Babe Ruth and backed up by such icons as Lou Gehrig & Earle Combs, they claimed the AL pennant by a dominating 19-game margin. This Yankees team was unstoppable, especially with an equally dominating pitching staff. The 1927 Yankees swept the Pirates in the World Series with the greatest of ease. OAL (Johnson) baseball with the red & green laces bears all the signatures from that great Yankees team with Babe Ruth on the sweet spot. A total of 24 signatures including Gehrig, Combs, Hoyt, Meusal, Koenig, Lazzeri, Dugan, Collins, Shocker & Grabowski. Ball is completely shellacked, immortalizing its classic appearance. A dark-colored patina covers the surface. LOA.
