Any ball bearing the signatures of Babe Ruth and other members of the immortal New York Yankee teams of the Roaring Twenties is a significant find. What is extra special about this spanking clean, red-and-blue-stitched Reach Official AL ball is that it's been PSA-verified to have been signed by seven illustrious Yankees who played with the 1922-23 teams. It was in 1923 that the team moved into Yankee Stadium, aka "The House That Ruth Built." All eyes will immediately gravitate to Ruth's signature on the sweet spot, but this treasure trove ball also includes the names of Hall of Fame manager Miller Huggins, pitchers Bob Shawkey and Carl Mays, shortstop Everett Scott, and catcher Wally Schang All signatures are in black fountain pen and all are clear and readable, most notably those of Ruth, Huggins and Mays which rate a solid 7. The ball comes with a PSA letter of authentication.
