Yankees Thurman Munson Authentic Signed 8.5x11 1978 Player Contract PSA #AR05499
This Autographed 8.5x11 Uniform Player Contract Dated March 29, 1978 has been Personally Signed by Thurman Munson 2x, Al Rosen 2x & Lee Mac Phail of the New York Yankees. This item is 100% Authentic and comes with a PSA/DNA Certification Card and a matching numbered Hologram. The authenticity can be verified on Professional Sports Authenticator website.
This historic piece features two distinct blue ink signatures on the final page from legendary team captain and fan favorite Thurman Munson, signed shortly before his tragic death in 1979.
The document carries significant executive and league history as well. It is signed twice by 1978 Yankees President and CEO Al Rosen, who rendered his autographs in both black and blue ink. Additionally, Hall of Famer and former American League President Lee MacPhail signed the contract in blue ink. The document comes complete with a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA verifying the legitimacy of all signatures on the page.
Named the first Yankees captain since Lou Gehrig, Munson served as the emotional heart and soul of the franchise throughout the 1970s. He led the team to three consecutive World Series appearances, capturing back-to-back titles in 1977 and 1978. Munson remains the only catcher in MLB postseason history to maintain a career batting average over.300 (.357) while recording more than 20 RBIs (22) and throwing out over 20 base stealers (24). Beside Johnny Bench, he is one of only two catchers to win a Rookie of the Year award, an AL MVP, a Gold Glove Award, and a World Series championship.
Regarding physical condition, the contract exhibits light vintage toning around the outer margins, along with standard age-related fading to the printed text on the final signature page. Overall, the autographs remain well-preserved, bold, and clearly legible.
