The 1934 New York Yankees finished in 2nd place in the American League with a 93-61 record. It would be Babe Ruth's last year in pinstripes as the Sultan of Swat played his farewell '35 season with the Boston Braves. While the team may not have raised a banner it was a very memorable campaign for Lou Gehrig who captured the Triple Crown with a .363 BA 49 HR and 166 RBI. Somehow he finished 5th in the MVP voting. Go figure.
Presented here is an Official American League (president's name not legible) baseball signed by 23 members of the '34 Bronx Bombers squad.With a bold 7-8/10 Babe Ruth on the sweet spot and an equally strong Lou Gehrig over the worn off OAL stamp this ball is truly amazing. Uniformly toned/soiled from aging and wear it has a moderate coating of shellac that has done a marvelous preservation job with the black penned autographs which as a whole rate in the 6-9 range. The boldest 9/10 signatures are Tony Lazzeri (HOF) Johnny Murphy and George Selkirk. Other notables include Lefty Gomez (HOF) Joe Sewell (HOF) Ben Chapman Frank Crosetti Hoag Newkirk Broaca Taylor Saltzgaver MacFayden DeShong Byrd Heffner Jorgens Allen and Van Atta. Alsopresent are clubhouse autographs for Red Ruffing and Red Rolfe.
