No franchise in MLB history is more identified with home runs than your New York Yankees. Starting in the 1920s with Babe Ruth, the Yankees dominated the long balls like no other team. After all, in each of 1920 and 1927, Babe Ruth alone hit more HRs than every other team in the AL.

This unbelievable package celebrates Yankee HR dominance as no other group of memorabilia could. This package consists of baseballs autographed by the holders of the top 5 Yankee single season HR totals:

Aaron Judge holds the top spot with 62 HRs last year. He specially autographed the first baseball in this set for the Rizzo Family Foundation and included the handwritten inscription "62 HR AL record". This baseball is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation

Roger Maris takes the next spot with 61 HRs in 1961 and has personally signed a baseball which honors his amazing season. This baseball is accompanied by letters of authenticity from PSA/DNA (which also grades the autograph and the ball at 8/10, and an overall grade of 8.5/10) and Beckett Authentication Services.

Babe Ruth takes spots 3 and 4 and is tied for 5th place on the all-time Yankee single season HRs. Babe hit 60 HRs in 1927, 59 HRs in 1921 and 54 HRs in 1920 and 1928. This exquisite and well-preserved baseball was boldly signed by the Babe, taking up almost the entire sweet spot. The ball displays as a single signed baseball despite the autograph of pitcher Max Butcher on a side panel. This baseball is accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.

Also logging in with 54 HRs in a single season were the Mick and A-Rod. Mickey Mantle hit 54 HRs in 1961 and Alex Rodriguez had his 54 HR season for the Yankees in 2007. The Mantle autographed baseball is pre-certified by PSA/DNA and the Rodriguez autographed baseball is accompanied by a certification from Arod's authenticator.

Yes, this is one package of baseballs autographed by the men who put together the five greatest HR seasons in Yankee history. We have never seen a Yankee HR collection like this one.
