New York Yankees Championship Legend: Ron Guidry Autographed Official MLB Baseball w/ "77 & 78 WS Champs" Inscription (Beckett BAS Witnessed)
Celebrate back-to-back championship glory with this official Ron Guidry Autographed Rawlings Major League Baseball. Hand-signed in sharp blue ballpoint ink across the sweet spot by 1978 AL Cy Young Award winner, 4x All-Star, and New York Yankees team captain Ron Guidry, this premier collectible features the coveted dual-championship inscription "77 & 78 WS Champs".
Known as "Louisiana Lightning" and "Gator," Guidry was the premier ace on the mound during the Yankees' dominant late-1970s dynasty. After helping lead New York to the 1977 title, Guidry put together one of the single greatest pitching seasons in baseball history in 1978, going 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA, 248 strikeouts, and a World Series victory to secure consecutive World Series rings. Manufactured by Rawlings to official MLB specifications with genuine white leather and raised red stitching, this baseball provides a clean canvas that highlights the signature and championship inscription. Every autograph is certified 100% genuine under the strict, in-person verification standards of Beckett Authentication Services (BAS Witnessed).
