When Yogi Berra was welcomed back to Yankee Stadium on July 18, 1999, it was a very special day. David Cone would pitch a perfect game with Yogi rooting him on. This “William Barthman” glass ice bucket was presented to NY Yankees on hand that historic day, this one originating from Joe Pepitone himself. On front is “YOGI BERRA DAY JULY 18, 1999” along with the “Twenty Four World Championships” logo etched. On back is a likeness of Yogi also etched on the glass. Several Yankees have signed the front in black marker including Berra, Scooter, Mattingly, Pepitone, Brown, Ford, Garagiola, and McDougald. All sigs are done in black ink rating an overall 7. NM overall. Accompanying the bucket is a baseball, OAL Budig, signed by the same 8 Yankees plus Larsen and Richardson rating an overall 7-8. The ball is NM with light spotting. The lot is accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
