1928 New York Yankees World Championship Team PSA Type 1 Encapsulated Underwood & Underwood Photo - Measures Approx. 6-1/2" x 8-1/2"
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 1928 Fall Classic, and synonymous with their 1927 World Series feat, would sweep the Redbirds in four straight games. Once again, this team was led by the unparalleled dynamic duo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, with the remaining "Murderers' Row" sluggers and stellar pitching staff simply too much too handle for their overmatched opponents. As an outstanding testament for this unprecedented team, presented here is a sensational 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" PSA Type 1 Underwood & Underwood photo of the 1928 New York Yankees.

Taken directly after the Yankees won the American League Pennant, this 94-year-old heirloom portrays magnificent aesthetics, spearheaded by its crystal clear clarity and impeccable contrast. Indeed, the borderless image virtually appears as if it was taken yesterday, miraculously eluding any glaring flaws and depicting strong right-angled corners. All the legendary Yankees are present including Ruth (standing top row - 5th from the right), Gehrig (sitting second row - first on the right), Lazzeri, Combs, Meusel, Hoyt, Pennock, Shawky, Huggins and so many more of the stars that comprised this iconic team. The verso reveals the critical Underwood & Underwood caption that lists all of the respective players and their respective positions on the team illustration. A significant keepsake from the immortal "Murderers' 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!
