Official Reach American League (Ban Johnson) baseball signed in fountain
pen on the sweet spot and side panels by 12 members of the 1927
Washington Senators team, including: Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker (ss),
Goose Goslin, Joe Judge, Al Scacht, Ossie Bluege, Nick Altrock, Bobby
Reeves, Topper Rigney, Hod Lisenbee, Jack Onslow, and Earl McNeely. A
collector’s notation on the manufacturer’s stamp indicates the ball as
being signed on August 11, 1927. Light toning and soiling, a few
signatures a shade light, and wear affecting the commissioner’s stamp,
otherwise fine condition. A remarkable baseball featuring two of
baseball’s most sought after signatures in the combination of Johnson
and Speaker, as well as the addition of fellow Hall of Famer Goose
Goslin. On the day this was signed, the Senators beat the Yankees—with
their 1927 team widely considered the greatest team in baseball
history—by a score of 3-2. They were led by Hod Lisenbee, who pitched a
complete game, tripled, and scored, all while holding heart of their
‘Murderer’s Row’ lineup of Ruth, Gehrig, and Meusel to a single hit.
