On the evening of June 13th 1935 at Madison Square Garden James Braddock a ten-to-one underdog entered the ring to face Max Baer. In an amazing feat of courage and determination Braddock won the 15 round decision to become the new heavyweight champion of the world and the inspiration of depression-era sports fans. Braddock’s heroic story was chronicled in the 2005 film Cinderella Man.
The offered 1935 New York Yankees team signed baseball comes from the estate of James Braddock. From the year of Braddock’s epic victory the OAL (Harridge) ball features an array of 24 signatures including; Lou Gehrig Bill Dickey Lefty Gomez Tony Lazzeri Red Ruffing Earle Combs and others. The signatures range in rating from 5 to 8 with the large dominant sweet spot Gehrig being on the higher side. The ball is in VG-EX condition with a coat of shellac that has chipped in a few areas.
Letter of provenance from grandson James Braddock III. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
