Vintage Official American League Baseball hand-signed by New York Yankees Hall of Fame shortstop Phil Rizzuto. The signature appears in blue ink across the sweet spot and remains clearly legible despite age-related wear to the ball.

Affectionately known as “The Scooter,” Phil Rizzuto was a key member of the Yankees dynasty, earning 5 World Series titles and the 1950 American League MVP award. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994 and remains a beloved figure in Yankees history, both for his playing career and later as a longtime broadcaster.

The baseball is an Official American League example stamped with Gene A. Budig as league president, placing its production in the late 1980s to mid-1990s. The piece is accompanied by a JSA (James Spence Authentication) sticker, providing third-party authentication.
