Here's one you don't see too often: Not only was this ball signed by one of the greatest teams ever, it features autographs by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig together on the same panel. That's right - The Bambino is on the top, and right below is Iron Horse. Others on the ball are fellow Murderer's Row member Tony Lazzeri, Bill Shawkey, Myles Thomas, and Wilcy Moore. The official American League (Johnson) ball appears to have been used in game action. Signatures average 5/10 and are very readable. Comes with a PSA LOA. The 1927 Yankees are still revered today as the gold standard of ballclubs, winning the pennant by a staggering 19 games before dispatching the PIttsburgh Pirates in a four-game World Series.
