ADDENDUM: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TITLE FOR THIS LOT HAS CHANGED FROM THAT IN THE PRINTED CATALOGUE.
Since the advent of the first modern World Series in 1903 only four clubs have won three or more consecutive World Championships: the 1936-1939 Yankees the 1949-1953 Yankees the 1972-1974 A's and the 1998-2000 Yankees. What makes the most recent Yankee dynasty even more impressive is that they accomplished that feat during an era of rampant free agency a time when keeping teams intact for more than one year is the exception rather than the norm. The offered 1998 World Champion New York Yankees team signed bat was given to our consignor by star pitcher Orlando El Duque Hernandez personally shortly after the 1998 World Series. Hernandezs black Rawlings game ready bat is stamped on the knob DW 20 744 98. It bears over 30 signatures including Torre Jeter Strawberry Pettitte Rivera Williams Martinez Cone Wells Brosius Hernandez O'Neill Raines and Knoblauch. The silver sharpie signatures contrast perfectly making for a magnificent presentation piece representative of one of the greatest teams of the modern Yankees dynasty.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
