1965 NEW YORK YANKEES TEAM (22) SIGNED BASEBALL - MANTLE/ MARIS/FORD-ORIG. OWNER

Description: The item offered is the ORIGINAL OWNER’S very collectible, rich historical value, 1965 New York Yankees team-signed baseball in VG+ Condition. Purchased at Yankee Stadium (Souvenir Booth) in July 1965, this Official American League (Cronin) baseball contains twenty-two (22), dark blue ink signatures of both players and coaches, to include two (2) Hall of Fame players – Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford. Mickey Mantle’s signature occupies the ball’s “sweet spot” with Roger Maris’ signature being immediately below (see photos nos.1-3, 8 & 22). The side panels contain other 1960’s Yankee Greats – Whitey Ford, Mel Stottlemyre, Tony Kubek, Clete Boyer, Phil Lenz and Jim Bouton. Other players’ signatures include Gil Blanco, Al Downing, Pedro Ramos, Steve Hamilton, Doc Edwards, Horace Clarke, Art Lopez and coaches Vern Benson, Frankie Crosetti and Cot Deal. There are four (4) other signatures to possibly include Tom Tresh (see photos nos. 15 & 17, above Vern Benson). The seller’s opinion is that this baseball initially was used in the field, perhaps during practice workouts. Hence, the scruff marks and faded areas, particularly in the OAL stamped sections. The seller believes the ball was then signed by the players/coaches and offered for sale at the Yankee Stadium Souvenir Stand. Please note – There are no letters of authenticity from JSA or BAS, nor pre-certification by PSA/DNA for this baseball. Always stored in protective boxes/cases and kept in non-smoking homes. Please review the twenty-two (22) photographs to assist in your assessment of the baseball’s condition. The photographs are an integral part of the descriptions stated in this listing. Thank you for taking the time to review this offering.
