The great Joe DiMaggio and the incomparable Ted Williams were two of baseball greatest players of all time. DiMaggio the "Yankee Clipper" still holds the MLB record for most consecutive games (56) with a hit while Williams a.k.a. The Splendid Splinter remains the last ball player to have cracked the magical .400 plateau by hitting .406. Both marks were set in 1941. This lot includes a pair of single-signed baseballs from the two MLB legends. DiMaggios autograph in blue ink appears on the sweet spot of an OAL (Budig) baseball while Williams was penned in black ink on the sweet spot of an OAL (Brown) baseball. Both signatures are solid and rate 8-9/10 in our book.

PSA cert# B02242 for Williams; DiMaggio pre-certified by PSA/DNA.Includes a Letter of Provenance from collector Robert Zweigle.
