For the collector who must have the best, we offer what we believe to be the finest 1951 New York Yankees team signed baseball on earth. 32 members of the club have signed this near mint OAL Harridge baseball. Joe DiMaggio appears on one sweetspot and rookie Mickey Mantle is on the other. They are flanked by teammates Billy Martin, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, Frank Shea, Frank Crosetti, Johnny Mize, Fred Sandford, Hank Bauer, Ed Lopat, Tom Henrich, Johnny Hopp, Joe Collins, Jack Jensen, Cliff Mapes, Gene Woodling, Tom Morgan, Bill Dickey, Joe Ostrowski, Bill Johnson, Tommy Byrne, Casey Stengel (clubhouse), Allie Reynolds, Joe Page, Gil McDougald, Charlie Silvera, Jerry Coleman, Bobby Brown, Tom Ferrick, Vic Raschi, and Ralph Houk. In addition, there are two non-roster signatures. Executed in blue and black ink, the signatures remain as vibrant today as they did when they were signed over 50 years ago. A simply outstanding example of one the most desirable team signed baseballs within our hobby. One of the very few items that still elicits an excited response from those who have viewed some of the most treasured items related to baseball's history. Accompanied by a letter from PSA/DNA.
