(LOT 1782)
1971 New York Yankees Team-Signed Baseball with Early Thurman Munson Autograph PSA/DNA LOA
EARLY MUNSON!!! In 1971, the Yankees were navigating a rebuilding phase, just before a successful run in the late '70s. The roster featured notable Yankees like Roy White, Bobby Murcer, Mel Stottlemyre and Fritz Peterson, with Thurman Munson emerging as a central figure after winning Rookie of the Year in 1970. In 1971, Munson's popularity was growing after his AL Rookie of the Year win. Munson, known for his gritty play and leadership, would later become a team captain, and this baseball contains a signature from his second season. Baseballs that include his signature are highly collectible due to his significant impact on the Yankees and his tragic, early passing in 1979. Other notable Yankees' signatures on this ball include Mel Stottlemyre (above the inscription "1971 Yankees"), Bobby Murcer, Roy White and more! PSA/DNA LOA.
