This is an OFFICIAL AMERICAN LEAGUE (Budig) Baseball signed by Baseball Hall of Famer, 5x All Star, 7x World Series Champion, 1950 AL MVP and former Yankees shortstop PHIL RIZZUTO in blue pen.  He added the inscription "HOF 94" under his name.  The signature rates an 8/10 due to slight ink transfer near the name.  The ball itself is lightly toned throughout.  Please look at pictures for further detail.  I am happy to send/post more pictures upon request, if needed. 

DID YOU KNOW?  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.

Rizzuto died in 2007 at age 89.

This ball was originally purchased through a reputable auction house and I will GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY of the signature with a FULL money back promise if PSA or JSA happens to think otherwise.  I have been collecting, buying and selling baseball autographs for close to 40 years and am considered an expert in the field.  Take a look at the photos, consider my 100% POSITIVE feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE.  Please also take a look at my other auctions for more great signed baseballs!

I price ALL of my baseballs to SELL...usually lower priced than all other comparable balls on eBay at the time of listing (seriously...check it out!).  I do list with a "Best Offer" option as again, I am here to SELL these balls, even though I feel my initial pricing is fair.  If you have a reasonable amount in mind, please send an offer.  Worst thing that could happen is for me to decline the offer.  If I counter the offer, it means we're close...let's work together to make it happen.  Thanks for looking!  Brandon
