Bridging the gap between Ruth and DiMaggio, the 1935 New York Yankees would hold their own, providing a good transition between one superstar and the next. Becoming the "new" face of the franchise, Lou Gehrig would assume a role not needed of him while Ruth was on hand, providing leadership & a veteran presence for the transitional squad. Offered here is an ultra-rare team signed original 8" x 10" Spring Training 1935 photograph featuring 22 members of the famed squads' autographs in bold black ink. Notables include: Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri , Lefty Gomez, Joe McCarthy, Joe Sewell, Broaca, Brown, Chapman, Crosetti, DeShong, Duke, Fletcher, Heffner, Kies, Kimble, LaFlamme, Melton, Painter, Roth, Tamulis with only Jack Ruppert bearing a common club house variation. The rare photo itself stands in good condition with stamping on the back and minor paper loss, pin holes and creasing. Easily one of the (if not the) finest 1935 Yankees photograph ever to be offered! Authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with a full letter of authenticity.
