1962 Yankees Team-Signed Ball w/Mantle, Maris
The 1962 Yankees continued their decade of dominance when they tripped up the Giants in the Fall Classic. Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris combined forces and made the Yanks the talk of baseball.
This Official League ball is signed by 24 members of the team in ballpoint ink. The autographs average "7-8" unless noted. The ball can be linked to '62 because it includes Rollie Sheldon and Marshall Bridges. These two were only rostered on the same team in 1962.
Those who signed include: Yogi Berra, Johnny Blanchard, Clete Boyer, Marshall Bridges, Jim Bouton, Bob Cerv, Whitey Ford, Billy Gardner, Elston Howard, Phil Linz, Hector Lopez, Mantle, Maris ("7"), Joe Pepitone (reduced), Jack Reed, Bobby Richardson, Rollie Sheldon, Bill Stafford, Ralph Terry, Tom Tresh, Bob Turley and three others.
