Addendum: Based on presence of Wally Schang PSA/DNA has been dated ball to 1930 A's.
Of all the great dynasties in baseball history - the Murderer’s Row Yankees the Big Red Machine John McGraw’s Giants the late 1930s Yankees of Gehrig and DiMaggio - Connie Mack’s 1929-31 Philadelphia Athletics can claim to be among if not the best of them all. The 1929 team won 104 games outpacing the second place Yankees by 18 games. No less than five future Hall of Famers graced the roster (6 including owner/manager Connie Mack) and the team crushed an unsuspecting Chicago Cubs team in the World Series 4 games to 1. The same team won the 1930 World Series as well before finally being defeated by the Cardinals in the 1931 Series. Mack broke up his juggernaut the following season; legend has it due to devastating financial losses he suffered in the Stock Market Crash.
This Reach Official American League ball contains 15 autographs from the back-to-back World Champion 1930 A’s including most of the team’s biggest stars. Signatures include; Jimmie Foxx Al Simmons Lefty Grove Rube Walberg Jimmy Dykes Bing Miller Wally Schang Jim Moore Dib Williams Eric McNair Kid Gleason Cy Perkins Jack Quinn Eddie Rommel and Joe Boley. The ball shows heavy toning under a coat of shellac but the fountain pen signatures are bold and fully legible averaging 7-8/10.
Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
