A single-signed, non-personalized baseball from the six-time World Series champion is one of the holy grail collectibles of an amazing era of Yankee history. His accomplishments were unparalleled for so many reasons. Still, the smiles and the pride that he brought to the African American community of Yankee fans during his years of play is beyond words.

He was voted the American League MVP in 1963, the first African American player to receive the honor.
