Yankees' Star Players: Signed Photos from Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Joe DiMaggio, and Don Larsen and Andy Carey. The New York Yankees are arguably one of the most successful professional sports team and highly decorated, winning more titles than any other franchise in the four major North American sports leagues. It is no surprise that they have had some of the biggest and greatest star players over the years:
1.) Signed clipping of the Daily News cover by Mickey Mantle - Mantle was one of the best players and sluggers of all time, and is regarded by many as the greatest switch hitter in baseball history. Mantle was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974 and was elected to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999. This clip celebrates his 500th home run, becoming the sixth player to do so.
2.) Autographed Photo of Joe DiMaggio - DiMaggio was a three-time Most Valuable Player Award winner and an All-Star in each of his 13 seasons, helping the club won ten American League pennants and nine World Series championships. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955 and was voted the sport's greatest living player in a poll taken during baseball's centennial year of 1969.
3.) Autographed Photo of Reggie Jackson - Jackson was nicknamed "Mr. October" for his clutch hitting in the postseason with the Athletics and the Yankees and helped New York win four American League East divisional pennants, three American League pennants and back to back World Series titles, in 1977 and 1978. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1993.
4.) Photo of The Perfect World Series Game, signed by Don Larsen and Andy Carey - In Game 5 of the 1956 World Series against the Dodgers, pitcher Don Larsen threw the only perfect game in World Series history, which remains the only perfect game in postseason play and the only postseason no-hitter until 2010.
