1936 New York Yankees World Series Champs Team Signed Baseball Lou Gehrig JSA

Official American League baseball (Harridge) signed in black fountain pen by twenty-one members of the 1936 World Champion New York Yankees. The ball is highlighted by Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig (sweet spot), Tony Lazzeri, Joe DiMaggio (Rookie season), Lefty Gomez, Charles Ruffing, and Bill Dickey. Also on the ball are Hadley, Rolfe, Glenn, Selkirk, Pearson, Johnson, and Seeds. The remaining signatures are faded and not legible. The ball has light toning and a few surface abrasions. In Very Good condition overall. 1936 marked the first of four consecutive World Championships for the New York Yankees, a feat that would be exceeded only by the 1949-1953 Yankees World Championship dynasty. 1936 New York Yankees team-signed balls with an authentic Gehrig signature (as opposed to clubhouse examples) are particularly scarce. This is a highly significant memento dating from the start of the club’s historic four-year World Championship run. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.
