1958 New York Yankees World Championship Ring Presented to Tony Kubek. He claimed the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 1957 and produced one of the greatest rookie performances in Fall Classic history that season, going three for five with two home runs in Game Three. The Yanks would ultimately fall in seven games to the Milwaukee Braves that year, but in 1958 the Bronx Bombers turned the tables on their National League nemesis, earning the hardware proudly presented here.

The twenty-two year old shortstop started every game of this avenging Series, supplying an RBI to the victorious Game Seven tally. He'd be awarded for his efforts with this World Championship ring, the first of three he'd earn in pinstripes. "New York Yankees World Champions" travels the perimeter of the top face of this refined fourteen karat (14k) gold artifact in raised lettering, surrounding a genuine thirty-five-point diamond inside of a baseball diamond, while each shank provides the classic hat and bat team logo and the year "1958." The interior band is engraved "Anthony Kubek" and stamped "Balfour 14K." Size nine (9). Weight thirty-one grams (31 g.).

The ring is consigned to Heritage by the Kubek family with Tony's notarized personal letter of provenance. A truly special memento of the greatest decade in Bronx Bombers history. Notarized letter of provenance from Tony Kubek.
