Official Reach American League (Ban Johnson) baseball signed in fountain pen on the sweet spot and side panels by 12 members of the 1927 Washington Senators team, including: Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker (ss), Goose Goslin, Joe Judge, Al Scacht, Ossie Bluege, Nick Altrock, Bobby Reeves, Topper Rigney, Hod Lisenbee, Jack Onslow, and Earl McNeely. A collector’s notation on the manufacturer’s stamp indicates the ball as being signed on August 11, 1927. Light toning and soiling, a few signatures a shade light, and wear affecting the commissioner’s stamp, otherwise fine condition. A remarkable baseball featuring two of baseball’s most sought after signatures in the combination of Johnson and Speaker, as well as the addition of fellow Hall of Famer Goose Goslin. On the day this was signed, the Senators beat the Yankees—with their 1927 team widely considered the greatest team in baseball history—by a score of 3-2. They were led by Hod Lisenbee, who pitched a complete game, tripled, and scored, all while holding heart of their ‘Murderer’s Row’ lineup of Ruth, Gehrig, and Meusel to a single hit.
