Fans in the Bronx got their last glimpse of number seven in pinstriped action on September 25, 1968, the day this OAL (Cronin) ball saw use at Yankee Stadium. Though the Mick's skills had been diminished by injury, age and hard living, the legendary slugger accounted for the Yanks' only hit this day in a masterful complete game performance by Indians ace Luis Tiant. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only documented game ball from this historic day, and we're sure that the legions of Mantle collectors will appreciate just how significant such a piece is. The ball derives from the personal collection of Hall of Fame umpire Nestor Chylak, who gave the ball to fellow ump Durwood Merrill in the late 1970's. The ball offers a 7/10 vintage blue ink sweet spot signature from Mantle, and bold black notations on two panels that read, "Mickey's last game in Yankee Stadium, Presented to American League Umpires Assoc. by the N.Y. Yankees." Strong use of the ball is evident.
