It was a season punctuated by a Triple Crown for Mantle, a perfect game for Larsen, and a World Championship for the Bronx. So it's little surprise that collectors tend to clamor for team balls from this Yankee edition, and here we provide a wonderful example. This OAL (Harridge) baseball is signed by twenty-seven (27) in ballpoint ink - average 8/10 to 9/10. A light layer of shellac was applied to the bold signatures. Leading off with choice signatures from Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra on the sweet spot, other signers include: Ed "Whitey Ford, Don Larsen, Billy Hunter, Charlie Silvera, Tom Morgan, Bob Cerv, Irv Noren, Tommy Byrne, Ed Robinson, Billy Martin, Elston Howard, Bill "Moose" Skowron, Rip Coleman, Hank Bauer, Tom Sturdivant, Bob Grim, Andy Carey, Tom Carroll, Johnny Kucks, Phil Rizzuto, Gil McDougald, Bob Turley, Joe Collins and Mickey McDermott and Joe Collins. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
