Yankees Team Ball with Thurman Munson(?)
 

I'm sure there have been many of these stories posted here, so here goes...
My sister managed to get me a team ball back in the '70s. Pretty sure it was a NY ball with TM's signature. I'm not a baseball guy but would love to know when it was signed. I'm hoping that someone out there can identify the other signatures and triangulate the year. Maybe the value?

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Based on the players showing, it's from either 1970 or 1971. It's hard to discern enough of the signatures for me to get it down to a specific year. But, look at the rosters for each year, see who wasn't on the team from one year to the next, and hopefully you can find their signatures. As for value, no clue.

It's 1970 as Steve Hamilton was signed in September of that year and didn't stick around for 1971. (Best I can tell anyway).

1970. Pete Ward only played for the Yankees in 1970.
Ron Hanson only in 70-71
Curt Blefary in 70-71
Gary waslewski 70-71
Ron woods 69-71 (another toughie)
Jim lyttle 69-71
Frank baker 70-71

Pete ward is the key. He only played for the Yankees in 1970.

Baseball reference was my guide.

Steve Hamilton is one of the harder ones to read and his last year as a yankee was 1970.

Thanks!
 

Thank you gentlemen, I really appreciate the help. For some reason I thought I got it in the late 70's, but now I know.

Cheers.

I was curious, does this one have the dreaded "bat boy" and what's his deal? I always hear it referenced with Munson team balls

Bat Boy
 

I don't know anything about this stuff, but there is a signature on the "bottom" of the ball. Bat boy?

That's Mel Stottlemyre, Yankee pitcher from 1964-1974.

Got it, thanks!
 

Thanks!
No idea, like I said, I have no idea about these things...

Thanks for the help.
