Myles Thomas Autograph - 1927 Yankees Member (PSA)
<p>Offered is the opportunity to possess a cut autograph from Myles Thomas, a right-handed pitcher on the storied 1927 New York Yankees, a team regarded by numerous baseball pundits as the best team in history. The '27 Yankees stormed through the regular season, having a 100-44 record and finishing in first place by 19 games. In that year's World Series, the Bronx Bombers swept the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Yankee lineup was known as "Murderers' Row," a reference to a place where the toughest criminals were kept in a New York City jail known as The Tombs. But the '27 Yankees weren't criminals; they were just tremendous hitters: Earle Coombs was a leadoff man who played center field and batted .356; left fielder Bob Meusel batted second and hit .337; Babe Ruth batted third and was in right field. The Sultan of Swat blasted 60 home runs that year, a total not surpassed until Roger Maris hit 61 round-trippers in 1961. While belting his 60 homers, Ruth managed to hit .356, with 164 RBIs; Lou Gehrig played first base and batted clean-up. The "Iron Horse," working toward his great streak of 2,130 consecutive games, belted 47 homers and drove in a then-record 175 runs, all while batting .373. One of the beneficiaries of all that Murderers' Row power was Myles Thomas. He appeared in 21 games, with nine starts. Thomas had a 7-4 record, with a 4.87 ERA. Thomas moved to the Washington Senators during the 1929 season and finished his career with the Senators the next year. In his Major League career, Thomas had a 23-22 record, with a 4.64 ERA. The cut signature of Thomas is attached to the blank side of a 3x5" index card. Above the signature is a tiny cut printing of "Myles Thomas" (measuring approx. .125x.75") and a rough, hand cut photo of Thomas (measuring 2.25" in diameter). The Thomas signature and the index card have been encapsulated and PSA/DNA certified "AUTHENTIC AUTO." The 2027 Golden Anniversary of the 1927 New York Yankees should focus attention on this iconic powerhouse team, and related memorabilia will inspire great interest.</p>
