Yogi Berra Signed Ball - 1961 World Champion NY Team 100th Anniversary

Product Description

Although best remembered for Roger Maris' and Mickey Mantle's pursuit of Babe Ruth's single-season home run record, the 1961 season also displayed one of the greatest teams in baseball history: the same Yankees for whom Maris and Mantle played. The "M & M Boys" hit 115 of the Yanks' then-record 240 home runs, while Cy Young Award winner Whitey Ford and Major League saves leader Luis Arroyo were the stars of a fine pitching staff. After spending virtually the entire first half of the season in second place, the Yankees blasted past Detroit in mid-season and had effectively sealed their second consecutive AL pennant by Labor Day. They finished the season eight games ahead of the 101-61 Tigers and had little trouble overcoming the Cincinnati Reds in a five-game World Series for the 19th World Championship in franchise history. This 100th Anniversary baseball has been hand signed by Ralph Houk, Tony Kubek, Yogi Berra, Hector Lopez, R. Duren, L. Thomas, Moose Skowron, B. Daley, John James, Ralph Terry, Tex Clevenger, Clete Boyer, Al Downing, Billy Gardner, Johnny Blanchard, J. Reed, Rollie Sheldon, Luis Arroyo, A. Ditmar, Bob Turley, and Joe Demasestri. A PSA/DNA Certificate of Authenticity is included.
