With Thurman Munson behind the plate, the New York Yankees won back-to-back World Championships ending a 14-year drought. In a tragedy shortened 10-year career, he won two Gold Glove awards, played in seven All-Star Games, and was the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1976. A notoriously reluctant autograph signer, his signature is always in demand, and a baseball is by far the most popular medium among collectors. This Rawlings "Official League" baseball has been signed by the former Yankee captain "To Eric Best Regards, Thurman Munson" on a side panel in mint blue ink rating a 9. The ball shows a light even tone which serves as the perfect back drop. The autograph comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
