I love this thread and the discussion herein. I have been at 240 for a while now and it doesn't look like that number is budging until more guys get in.

I really like that program and the tough autos on it. I appreciate items that are one of a kind and have some character from the years. Fantastic pickup.

Thanks for the kind words guys. On the inside of the program is another signed early DiMaggio. What I find interesting is that he had barely been in the big leagues 2 months and he was regarded as a sensational star and they were throwing banquets for him. I wonder how many players were considered stars just a few months into their careers? Of course he made himself known with the Seals prior to playing for the Yankees.

I think you answered your own question. I remember David Clyde being a star before he even stepped on the mound.

But in addition, haven't the Yankees always needed someone to be 'the next great Yankee'? Since Babe Ruth, it seems like the superstar of MLB always has to be a Yankee, so with Gehrig 13 years into his career and DiMaggio a superstar with the Seals, he was the obvious one to be coronated next. And after him it was Mantle, then the failure with Murcer and a long drought. Jeter was the Yankees 'settling', and this farewell tour is marketing him to be something he simply wasn't.

I agree totally with you except don't you think Joe Pepitone is in there as a bridge between Mantle and Murcer. What about Munson also.
Personally I was hoping Mickey Rivers would have filled that role before Jeter😄😄😄😄😄
