Coming off back-to-back World Series triumphs in 1927 and 1928, the New York Yankees still had the core of their formidable “Murderer’s Row” lineup intact, when they finished second to Connie Mack’s stacked Philadelphia Athletics team in 1929. Hall of Famers “Babe” Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, and Earle Combs are all present and accounted for, with this 1929 Yankees team-signed baseball. Considerably toned, this period signed OAL/Barnard ball hosts (10) autographs under a heavy coating of shellac.
Featured signers are: “Babe” Ruth (“5-6”), Lou Gehrig (“5-6”), Tony Lazzeri (“6”), Earle Combs (“4”), Art Shires (“4”, White Sox player), Gene Robertson (“5”), Harry Mathews (“6”, coach), Charley O’Leary (“5-6”, coach), Al Shealy (“4-5”), and one undetermined. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $900.
