The Hall of Famer Babe Ruth has signed this 8 x 10 inch photograph. Ruth, a star for the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, was the first great power hitter in baseball. As a member of the Yankees “Murderer’s Row” lineup, Ruth earned renown from his towering home runs and larger than life personality under the bright lights of “The House That Ruth Built”. Ruth led the American League in home runs 12 times, while also winning an American League ERA title in after going 23-12 with a 1.75 ERA for the Red Sox in 1916. Ruth was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1936, as a member of its charter class.
This 8 x 10 inch photograph shows Ruth standing in front of a row of cars in street clothes, a cigar surreptitiously hanging from his right hand. Ruth has signed this photograph in black pen, inscribing “To My Pal Cyril / Sincerely” above his signature. This historically significant photograph is accompanied by a LOA from PSA/DNA.
