A Piece of Baseball History: The 1933 New York Yankees Signed Baseball
An Iconic Team
The 1933 New York Yankees were a formidable force in Major League Baseball, boasting a roster that featured nine future Hall of Famers, with the legendary Joe McCarthy at the helm as manager. This team, the defending World Champions, secured an impressive 91 victories during the regular season, tying for the second-best record in the league. Despite their prowess, they trailed the Washington Senators, who clinched 99 wins, denying the Yankees a chance to defend their title in the World Series.
A Rare Collectible
This exquisite “REACH” manufactured OAL Harridge baseball, dating back to 1932-33, is a testament to the Yankees’ storied history. The ball is adorned with the signatures of 23 members of the 1933 team, including all nine Hall of Fame players:
- Babe Ruth (ss)
- Lou Gehrig
- Earle Combs
- Bill Dickey
- Herb Pennock
- Vern “Lefty” Gomez
- Tony Lazzeri
- Chas “Red” Ruffing
- Joe Sewell (player-coach)
Additional signatures include notable players such as Sam Byrd, Frank Crosetti, and Russ Van Atta, among others. Each signature is meticulously inscribed in black fountain ink, collectively rating a strong 9 in our expert opinion. The ball itself is in near-mint condition, showcasing a shiny, reflective tone that enhances its allure.
Authenticity and Provenance
While PSA/DNA was unable to authenticate the signatures, this remarkable piece is accompanied by a Full Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, ensuring its value and significance as a collectible. The year “1933” is elegantly penned near the stamp in blue ink, adding a touch of historical context to this extraordinary artifact.
