The Legendary 1927 New York Yankees Team-Signed Baseball

A Historic Moment in Baseball

The 1927 New York Yankees are often heralded as the greatest baseball team in Major League Baseball history. This iconic team, known for their formidable lineup dubbed “Murderers’ Row,” swept the Pittsburgh Pirates to become the World Champions. The team’s dominance on the field is immortalized in the annals of baseball history, and their memorabilia remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

A Rare Collectible

Among the most coveted items from this legendary team are the team-signed baseballs. These artifacts are exceedingly rare, especially those in good condition. The Reach manufactured OAL Johnson baseball, featuring 15 visible signatures from this iconic team, is a true treasure. The signatures include some of the most revered names in baseball history:

  • Babe Ruth – Positioned prominently on the sweet spot, his signature is a testament to his legendary status.
  • Lou Gehrig – Known as “The Iron Horse,” his signature adds immense value to this piece.
  • Tony Lazzeri – A key member of the Yankees’ infield, his contribution to the team’s success is undeniable.
  • Bob Meusel – An integral part of the Yankees’ outfield, his signature is a cherished addition.
  • Dutch Reuther, Pat Collins, Doc Woods, and seven others, though heavily faded, complete this remarkable collection.

The signatures, executed in black ink, are presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, overall rate between 2-6. This baseball is accompanied by a Full Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, further enhancing its desirability and value.
