Light cream color L.MacPhail American League baseball signed by McCarthy in black ink across side panel by New York Yankees' Hall of Fame manager. Signature is very bold and pronounced rating 8/9 out of 10. McCarthy was a hard nosed-manager known for his bulldog management style yet was extremely beloved by most of his players during his tenure. Joe McCarthy was notorious for souring countless Yankees team autographed baseballs of the period by having clubhouse attendants sign on his behalf. Single signed representation of his autograph was expectedly tougher. Perhaps the finest surviving example of this very tough baseball. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA (9 MT) and JSA: Ball: NM-NM/MT, Signature: NM-MT+
