Of all the great Yankee teams in major league history, two stand out the most memorable; the "Murderer's Row" team of 1927 and the World Championship team of 1951. The 1951 team signaled the changing of the guard, as it would be Mickey Mantle's first season and Joe DiMaggio's last, marking the only time they took the field as teammates. Offered is a team signed 1951 New York Yankees baseball. Penned on a Cyclone Official League ball, the 22 steel tipped fountain pen signatures are faded but legible, with Mantle's rookie season signature appearing under Billy Martin. Other Hall of Famers include Johnny Mize and Casey Stengel, and also includes Mel Allen, Jensen, and Raschi, among others. No clubhouse or secretarial signatures! LOA from James Spence Authentication.
