Rawlings Official American League baseball featuring a signature attributed to Phil Rizzuto, the legendary New York Yankees shortstop and Hall of Famer. The ball bears the Gene A. Budig-era American League marking, consistent with the 1994–1999 period when Budig served as American League president.
The signature appears consistent with known authentic Phil Rizzuto examples, including the rightward lean, characteristic P/R loops, distinctive Z-shaped loops, and flowing connections into the “t/o.” This is a visual assessment only and does not establish authenticity.
