Managing a Major League baseball team is a tough job. You have to meet the expectations of the billionaires in the front office, while coaxing every bit of talent out of multi-millionaire players playing in front of passionate fans. Then there's the hot seat in the bustling Bronx. It takes a special person to handle the reins of the New York Yankees, and here we have a quartet of baseball lifers who answered the call with great success. Served up are (4) Yankees managers single-signed baseballs. The signatures are pleasing sweet spot applications, ranging ("8" to "10"), and the balls are equally attractive, averaging (NM to NM-MT).
Featured are:
Billy Martin (d.1989) on an OAL/MacPhail ball, with Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA;
Joe Torre (HOF) on an OML/Selig ball, with Steiner COA/sticker and MLB sticker;
Bill Virdon on an OML/Selig ball with "1974 Mgr of the Yr." inscription, with Steiner COA/sticker;
Joe Girardi on an OML/Selig ball, with Steiner COA/sticker and MLB sticker.
Opening Bid $150.
