When Frank Crosetti retired in 1948 after 17 years as the anchor of the Yankees infield, he decided to coach for another 20 years making him the longest continuous Yankee in history at the time. This OAL Brown baseball has been single signed in blue ballpoint from the side panel through the sweet spot by Crosetti, reading "Frank 'The CEO' Crosetti." He also added on the bottom panel "N.Y. Yankees 1932-1968." Ball is extremely clean with signature and inscription that grade a 9-10. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication and a certificate from PSA/DNA.
