With the Yankees third straight pennant in tow, and after re-grouping from the '21 and '22 World Series losses to the Giants, they were crowned Champions of the 1923 season. Babe Ruth collected his first MVP award and the Yankees magic was just hitting full steam through the Roaring 20's. With a certain amount of fortitude one will find a Yankees team signed baseball with Babe Ruth and his fellow teammates. However, one which dates to an earlier point in his career such as this sphere, brings even greater accomplishment. Any Ruth signed baseballs from the early 1920's or prior are extremely scarce. We are proud to offer this Official American League(Ban Johnson) 1923 Yankees team ball with eleven(11) signatures including Ruth(sweetspot), Miller Huggins(Very Tough), Herb Pennock(HOF), McNally, Bengough, Ward, Bush, Witt, and three others. Ball is in fair condition with a heavy coat of shellac which was common of the period. Signatures range from 1-5, with Ruth of the best quality. A ball such as this in near-mint condition can easily approach and exceed five figures in value due to extreme scarcity. Here is your opportunity to pick up a lower grade example at a more reasonable price.  Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication(JSA).
