Lot 947: 1937 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
The 1937 Yankees went a staggering 102-52 in the regular season, finishing thirteen games ahead of the Detroit Tigers, before easily disposing of the New York Giants in five games. It was the second in a series of four straight World Series victories by a dynasty that can hold its own against any other team in history. Then again, a team with Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey, Lazzeri, Henrich, Gomez, Ruffing, Rolfe, Selkirk and Crosetti had better win. Gehrig, DiMaggio and Dickey drove in 459 runs just between them. Throw in Gomez and Ruffing combining to go 41-18 and you can put up the official sign on the pennant race. Official AL Harridge baseball has a great Lou Gehrig (8/10) signature on the sweet spot. Rest of the sigs average 6/10. Overall ball is EX. This ball is Yankees and baseball history.
