Rawlings Official 2001 World Series baseball (Selig) signed nicely on the sweet spot in bold blue felt tip by George W. Bush. In very fine condition. The 2001 Major League Baseball season and the eventual World Series were delayed by the horrific events of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. The NY Yankees advanced to the championship round to face the Arizona Diamondbacks, and although the Yankees lost in seven games, the series was marked by numerous comebacks and extra-inning games and is now remembered by many baseball historians as one of the greatest World Series in MLB history. A particularly memorable moment was when President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium for Game 3, a contest that saw the Bronx Bombers hold on for a rousing 2-1 victory. An excellent association piece that connects the presidency with America’s pastime, a sport that helped galvanize the nation’s spirit in the face of tragedy.
