The 1998 NY Yankees were without question, the greatest team of the past quarter century. When discussing the immortal 1927 and 1961 NY Yankee teams, the 1998 team would be in the discussion as the greatest of all-time. Winning five out of seven games for an entire season, this Yankee team was special, to say the very least. This OAL Budig baseball is snow white with only two tiny, visible toned spots. It has an incredible 32 signatures of both players and coaches including Joe Torre (sweet spot), Jeter, Girardi, El Duque, Spencer, Ledee, Mendoza, Zimmer, O’Neill, Zimmer, Bernie, Tino, Irabu, Knoblauch, Posada, Stottlemyre, Wells, Pettitte, Cone, Lloyd, Brosius, Mariano, Stanton, Randolph, Nelson and Raines. All signatures are done in bold, blue ink and rate an overall 8-9 with many stronger. The ball is accompanied by a LOA from JSA and is sourced from the NY Yankee clubhouse.
