After the vaunted “Murderers Row” lineup had given way to Connie Mack’s second Athletics dynasty, the Bronx Bombers returned to supremacy with a humiliating 1932 World Series sweep of the Chicago Cubs. Compiled by Historic Autographs, this (1/2) booklet showcases the cut signatures of (4) key components to that 1932 Pinstripers squad. From the 2017 “Line-Ups” edition that featured 50 of the best teams from 1930-2016, this 4x3” thick stock treasure unfolds to reveal decidedly bold scriptings. From left to right are: Ben Chapman (black-ink steel tip fountain pen, “9” strength); Earle Combs (blue ink, “8-9” strength); Babe Ruth (graphite pencil, “9” strength with “9/22/32” inscription); and Joe McCarthy (graphite pencil, “8-9” strength). Accompanying is a full photo LOA from Beckett.
