Official Reach American League (Ban Johnson) baseball signed in black ink on the sweet spot and side panels by 11 members of the legendary 1927 Yankees, as well as two additional Hall of Famers. Signers from the Yankees are: Babe Ruth (ss), Miller Huggins, Urban Shocker, Tony Lazzeri, Waite Hoyt, Dutch Ruether, Bennie Bengough, Bob Shawkey, Roy Chesterfield, Virgil Davis, and Hugh Ferrell; the additional signers are Grover Cleveland Alexander and Frank Frisch. In very good condition, with scattered surface loss affecting most signatures (key signatures of Ruth, Alexander, Shocker, and Chesterfield remain the strongest), and overall toning and soiling. This baseball bears some of rarest autographs from the most collectible team of all-time—in addition to the always-desirable Ruth on the sweet spot, Huggins and Shocker are especially rare; Chesterfield, Davis, and Ferrell are also practically never seen, since they were cut from the team during spring training. While he was not a member of the Yankees, Alexander is also quite difficult to find—he and Frisch both played for the St. Louis Cardinals, who defeated the Yankees during the 1926 World Series. The Yankees then matched up against the Cardinals for seven exhibition games during spring training in 1927, which must have been when these signatures were obtained.
