The 1927 Yankees are widely considered the greatest team in baseball history. Autographs and photos of every player are widely collected, but here is the exact moment the legend began as Mayor Jimmy Walker opens the season with a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption, this is the ONLY image of the ceremonial first pitch of the "27 Yankees" we have ever seen! An important piece of baseball history!
