From 1920 to his death in 1948, no athlete in the world was more recognizable than Babe Ruth. Where ever he went - theaters, restaurants, train stations - the great man was inundated with requests for his autograph. While many athletes today look at signing an autograph as a chore and bother, Ruth felt otherwise. To him, his flawless script on a ball or piece of paper was the least he could do to make a fan happy or bring a smile to a little boy’s face. To him, it just was part of being Babe Ruth. The legend of The Babe, which has only grown over the years, has made a Babe Ruth signed baseball one of the most sought after sports collectibles. The Babe has penned his instantly recognizable signature to the left of the sweet spot on this baseball. His signature has been written in blue pen. This baseball, which shows some signs of wear due to age, comes with a LOA from JSA.
