(LOT 104)
1928 New York Yankees Team Photo - PSA Type I Encapsulated Underwood & Underwood Photo – Measures 7-1/2" x 9-1/2"

Fresh off the heels of their remarkable 1927 campaign in which they established themselves as one of our National Pastime's greatest all-time ball clubs, the 1928 Yankees would continue their winning ways. Posting a spectacular 101-53 record, they would claim their third consecutive American League pennant, besting Connie Mack's imposing Athletics squad by 2.5 games. The Yankees would face off against the St. Louis Cardinals in the Fall Classic, and synonymous with their 1927 World Series feat, would sweep the Redbirds in four straight games. Once again, this team was spearheaded by the unparalleled dynamic duo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, with the remaining "Murderer's Row" sluggers and stellar pitching staff simply too much too handle for their overmatched opponents.

As a bona-fide testament for this unprecedented team, presented here is a sensational 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" PSA Type I Underwood & Underwood photo of the 1928 New York Yankees. Taken directly after the Yankees won the American League pennant, this 92-year old heirloom portrays absolutely magnificent aesthetics, particularly due to the near-perfect contrast and clarity. Indeed, the image virtually appears as if it was taken yesterday, with no glaring surface flaws and a razor-sharp perimeter. Virtually all the legendary Yankees are present including Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Combs, Meusel, Dickey, Hoyt, Pipgras, Koenig, Huggins (Mgr. - w/Yankee jacket), rookie 2nd sacker Leo Durocher and even renowned "Mascot" Eddie Bennett.

The verso reveals the critical caption that lists all of the respective players on the obverse side, the final stamp of approval for one of the finest Yankee team photos you will ever come across. A monumental heirloom from the "Murderer's Row" era, it serves as a steadfast reminder of how the 1928 New York squad was arguably as worthy a ballclub as the 1927 Yankees, as they literally "cake-walked" to their second consecutive world championship! – PSA Type 1 Encapsulation
