This near mint OAL MacPhail ball, signed by 28 members of the 1979 Yankees, is a bittersweet collector's item, as it includes one of the last autographs by catcher Thurman Munson. Munson was killed in a tragic private plane crash on August 2. On the ball's sweet spot is the signature of Bob Lemon, who was replaced by Billy Martin after just a few games. Others include Reggie Jackson on the other SS, Lou Piniella, Tommy John, Roy White, Don Gullett, Rich Gossage, Chris Chambliss, Willie Randolph, Ed Figueroa, Brian Doyle, Fred Stanley, etc. Signatures range from 6s to 8s.
