In 1999 the New York Yankees were busy winning their second of three straight World Series titles (and third overall) under the watchful eye of skipper Joe Torre. This particular Fall Classic pitted the 98-64 AL Champion New York Yankees against the 103-59 NL Champion Atlanta Braves. In the end the Yankees steamrolled the Braves in four straight games to claim the franchise's 25th World Series championship.
This lot features a stunning 1999 New York Yankees World Series ring that was presented to a Yankee staffer whose last name is Waldez. The Size 8 ¾ Balfour 14-karat gold ring is arguably one of the most outlandish in the vast history of the franchise with 25 small diamonds adorning the team's iconic "NY" logo on the front resting on a blue stone with another nearly four dozen small diamonds encircling the logo interrupted only by "19" and "99" on each side. On the right shank is "Waldez" atop an intricate engraving of Yankee Stadium and the World Series Trophy "25th" referring to the number of World Series titles and the word "Tradition." On the other shank is featured the team's well-known Top Hat Logo another graphic representing the Stadium facade and banners that read "The Century's Team" and "25th World Championship." The interior band is marked Balfour 14K and the copyright symbol. The ring is protected in its original cherry wood jewelry box that has "NEW YORK YANKEES 1999 WORLD CHAMPIONS" etched in glass at the top.
