Mickey Mantle was, quite simply, one of the best baseball players of his generation and one of the greatest members ever of the New York Yankees organization. A rookie in 1951, Mantle would play 18 seasons with the Bronx Bombers and finish his Hall of Fame career in 1968 with 536 home runs, 1,509 runs batted in, and a career batting average of .298. Mantle signed this Official American League (Brown) baseball to a friend with a special inscription that reads: "To Mike, Happy 50th Birthday asshole, Your P.T. Buddy Mickey Mantle." The signature is penned beautifully in black ink and rates a strong 8-9/10. Mantle signed balls with profanity inscriptions have proven to be very valuable in the past! Includes a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
