Yankee Stadium Organist Eddie Layton's 1978 New York Yanees World Series Ring

Featuring one round diamond (total .45 karat), this 14 karat gold ring commemorates not only the New York Yankees 22nd championship, but a ferocious comeback just to get to the playoffs. Down 14 games in mid-August, the regular season came down to a one game winner-take all 5-2 win over the century long rival Red Sox,  thanks to Bucky Dent's seventh inning 3-run homer off of former Bomber Mike Torrez. After that, the AL playoffs against the Kansas City Royals (won 3-1) and the World Series rematch against the Dodgers (4-2, helped by Mr. October) seemed a walk in the ball park, helped by Layton's constant call of "Charge" on the organ. The face features a diamond logo, around which reads "WORLD CHAMPIONS". One side of the band shows the Yankee logo across an image of the World Series trophy and below a Yankee Stadium facade type design. The other side is engraved "Layton", plus the year notation 1978 above the NY logo and words "Pride" and "Tradition." Measurements: Size 9 3/4. Condition: Overall excellent condition, some wear from use.
