The
1927 Murderer's Row Ball.
Through the entire history of
Major League baseball, there has never been a more dominant
hitting team than the fabled 1927 New York Yankees. That
team will forever be known in the folklore of the game
as Murderer's Row for their proclivity to score
lots of runs (975 in 154 games that year). While the '27
Yankees were collectively known as Murderer's Row,
the actual "row" of men "murdering"
opposing pitching was Babe Ruth, who batted third, followed
by Lou Gehrig, hitting fourth, Tony Lazzeri, who batted
5th and Bob Meusel, who batted 6th. Incredibly, this baseball
was signed exclusively by these four men: the actual Murderer's
Row, in 1927.
