Rare 1977 NY Yankees World Series Trophy!

Identical to those given to executives, players, and coaches, offered here is a completely original 1977 New York Yankees World Series Trophy! This example is particularly important as it was given to one of the Yankees chief sponsors during the 1970's - Getty Oil. The Yankees and Balfour only made a very limited number of these trophies to give to higher-level corporate sponsors, and Getty Oil was certainly one of the biggest - their large advertisements were all over Yankee Stadium during the 1970’s. The trophy stands 12 inches tall and still maintains its original "Balfour" manufacturer's sticker on the base. Fully original from the period, it remains in its pristine condition and still sports that great shiny, gold luster - perfectly preserved during its almost 50 year existence. 

In 1977, the New York Yankees ended their longest World Series drought in franchise history (at the time) - their first title in 15 seasons, and the first championship under "The Boss", George Steinbrenner. Equally important, this remarkable piece of history is the first World Series Trophy presented to the Yankees in franchise history, as the Commissioner’s Trophy was only introduced by Major League Baseball in 1967. These 1977 Yankee trophies are significantly rare with just a few examples surfacing in the last 45+ years! The later Yankees World Series trophies issued in 1996, 1998, and 1999 are significantly easier to locate and come to market much more frequently.

The iconic ‘77 Bronx Bombers was led by their ace, Ron Guidry, and their captain, the late Thurman Munson. Of course, Reggie Jackson provided a much needed spark, hitting three consecutive home runs in Game 6 of the World Series... good enough for World Series MVP honors! In fact, accompanied with the original World Series Trophy is an awesome 8x10 photo (unsigned) of Reggie Jackson featuring a massive Getty advertisement in leftfield - a great addition showing the relationship between The Yankees and Getty Oil.

A one of a kind keepsake for an astute collector and avid Yankee fan – certainly a unique piece of baseball history!
