Official Wilson Babe Ruth League baseball signed in blue ballpoint by 22 members of the 1961 World Champion New York Yankees. Signers include: Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle (both on the sweet spot), Roger Maris, Elston Howard, Bobby Richardson, Bob Turley, Spud Murray, Jack Reed, Tom Tresh, J. Hegan, Hector Lopez, Bill Stafford, Rollie Sheldon, Ralph Terry, Johnny Blanchard, Bill Skowron, Luis Arroyo, Billy Gardner, Tex Clevenger, Hal Reniff, and Bob Hale. Ball also bears a light pink felt tip inscription, “Martin,” next to the sweet spot. In very good condition, with uniform toning to ball and all signatures a shade or two faded, but still completely legible. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from James Spence. Although best remembered for Roger Maris’ and Mickey Mantle’s pursuit of Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record, the 1961 Yankees are considered by some to be one of the greatest teams in baseball history. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
