Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle autographs adorn the sweet spot of this OAL Harridge baseball. There are a total of 25 signatures in green ink on this ball, including the following deceased Yankees: Howard, Stengel, Rizzuto, Martin, and Crosetti. All signatures rate from 7-9. This Yankee ball is very important for two reasons, the first of which is the significance of the Larsen and Berra 1956 perfect game. In addition, it has Mantle and Stengel signatures which is very rare for them to be on the same Yankee team ball. There are no clubhouses on this great Yankee ball. The 1956 Dodger ball is on a browning Spalding Official baseball. There are 27 green ink signatures on the ball with the only clubhouse signature being that of Snider. Notables include Jackie Robinson, Walter Alston, Don Drysdale, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella, and Gil Hodges along with the rest of the Brooklyn Bums. The signatures rate a varying 4-7, with both balls accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
