During the period 1921-1964, the New York Yankees won 29 AL pennants in 45 seasons. It took a special squad to break the Yankees stranglehold on the American League. Special doesn't even come close to describing Connie Mack's great 1929-1931 Philadelphia A's dynasty. Built with a loaded roster, this A's team made three straight Fall Classic appearances, winning back-to-back championships in 1929-1930. From the midst of this impressive run, comes this 1930 Athletics team-signed baseball. (27) Autographs ranging ("6" to "8") in potency, decorate this attractive OAL/Barnard ball (EX+). With (4) long-deceased Hall of Famers of the highest order in the lineup, this ball speaks loudly to "pride of ownership".
