Phil Rizzuto & Yogi Berra Signed OAL Baseball Inscribed "HOF 94" with Display Case (PSA COA)

Rawlings Official American League baseball. Hand-signed in blue ink pen by Phil Rizzuto (D. 2007, New York Yankees, HOF) and Yogi Berra (D. 2015, New York Yankees, HOF). Includes display case as shown. Please note, baseball shows signs of natural toning.

Phil Rizzuto, nicknamed "The Scooter", spent his entire 13-year baseball career with the New York Yankees (1941–1956), and was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994.

A popular figure on a team dynasty which captured 10 AL titles and seven World Championships in his 13 seasons, Rizzuto holds numerous World Series records for shortstops. His best statistical season was 1950, when he was named the American League's Most Valuable Player. Despite this offensive peak, Rizzuto was a classic "small ball" player, noted for his strong defense in the infield. The slick-fielding Rizzuto is also regarded as one of the best bunters in baseball history.

When he retired, his 1,217 career double plays ranked second in major league history, trailing only Luke Appling's total of 1,424, and his .968 career fielding average trailed only Lou Boudreau's mark of .973 among AL shortstops. After his playing career, Rizzuto enjoyed a 40-year career as a radio and television sports announcer for the Yankees. His idiosyncratic style and unpredictable digressions charmed listeners, while his lively play-by-play brought a distinct energy to his broadcasts. He was well known for his trademark expression, "Holy Cow!".

The lot / autograph(s) includes an official PSA/DNA hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
