Thurman Munson Single Autographed Baseball for Sale

Thurman Munson (June 7, 1947 – August 2, 1979) was an American Major League Baseball catcher who played his entire 11-year professional baseball career for the New York Yankees (1969–1979). He was a seven-time All-Star, three-time Gold Glove winner, and is the only Yankee to win both the Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards.

Considered the "heart and soul" of the Yankees, Munson was named the first team captain since Lou Gehrig. He led the Yankees to three consecutive World Series appearances from 1976 to 1978, and two consecutive World Series championships from 1977 to 1978.

Munson died at age 32 while practicing landing his Cessna Citation at Akron-Canton Airport.

Munson remains high on the list of desired autographs for collectors. As a player, Munson could be quite difficult to approach and was known to say "no" more than "yes" when asked to sign. Therefore, his autograph is in short supply. The most desirable Munson signatures date to his early years in the league (1971-72) where he signed every letter of his name, "Thurman Munson." As the years passed, Munson shortened his signature. He's most commonly found on team-signed balls, 3x5s and programs. Rarely is Munson's signature found on single-signed balls or bats. Both bring a premium in the open market with a single baseball selling for over $17,000.00 in the past.

My grandfather, Ben Rosenthal, had the opportunity to meet Thurman at a trade show in New York when I was a child. He obtained a single signed autographed baseball and a personalized autographed 8x10 picture for me a year or two before Thurman passed away. These have been in my sole possession since they were autographed. After many years, I am interested in selling the baseball to a qualified individual.
