Baseball (manufacturer's stampings faded) signed in black ink by the following 22 members of the 1951 World Champion New York Yankees: Mantle, Berra, Rizzuto, DiMaggio (sweet spot, clubhouse signature), Henrich, Reynolds, Schallock, Woodling, Silvera, Morgan, Ostrowski, Bridweser, Shea, Coleman, Hogue, Houk, Lopat, Collins, McDougald, Overmire, and Hopp. The notation "BME" is written in an unknown hand. The year 1951 was a momentous one in Yankees history as the team bid farewell to Joe DiMaggio and welcomed his heir apparent, Mickey Mantle. The transition was certainly a smooth one, as the Yankees captured their third consecutive World Championship (en route to a record five consecutive titles) by defeating the Giants in the World Series. 1951 New York Yankees team-signed balls are among the most desirable from the era, and the offered ball is no exception. The manufacturer stampings are faded and the ball displays a few small spots of staining and surface wear; Very Good condition overall. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Opening Bid $10.
