Of course, Babe Ruth is known for his home runs, but the truth is that he was just as talented a fielder as he was a hitter. Alternating between left and right field depending on the angle of the sun, Ruth was well-respected for an ingrained ability to position himself wherever a ball was hit. Like his hitting and pitching, the Babe was simply a natural ballplayer, whatever job he was fulfilling on a ball field. This Draper & Maynard leather fielder’s glove has been endorsed by Babe Ruth, the outfielder, with a stamped facsimile of his signature found in the palm. The glove shows great use, with the leather surface well-worn and many scuffs and abrasions throughout. The D&M button is still present, and the manufacturer’s label is worn but still affixed and legible. A great Ruth endorsed glove produced concurrently with his seasons as a player.
