This excellent condition OAL MacPhail ball bears the signatures of five New York Yankee legends and MVP winners, four of whom are Hall of Famers and one record-breaker. The sweet spot is signed by the most popular Yankee of all, 3-time MVP Mickey Mantle, the best player of the last half-century, 3-time MVP Joe DiMaggio; one of history's greatest catchers and most colorful characters, Yogi Berra; and the slick shortstop-turned "Holy Cow"-shouting broadcaster, Phil Rizzuto. While Roger Maris still waits for his HOF plaque, he is already enshrined in history for breaking Babe Ruth's home run record with 61 in 1961 and as a 2-time MVP. The signatures are in black ink and somewhat light, though clear and distinctive, rating 7s.
