The elite 500 Home Run Club begins, as most Major League Baseball records do, with Babe Ruth, who hit his 500th career home run on August 11, 1929 as a New York Yankees player. The legendary "Bambino" started the club, and since then, 26 more MLB players have earned their membership. Presented is a 500 Home Run Club multi-signed Official American League Bobby Brown baseball with the signatures of 13 members of the exclusive club, 12 of whom are members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Ted Williams (521 career dingers) and Mickey Mantle (536) have both signed their names on the sweet spot in blue pen. To the right on the sweet spot are the signatures of Willie Mays (660), Mike Schmidt (548) and Mark McGwire (583) in blue pen, while Harmon Killebrew (573) has signed to the left, also in blue pen. To the left of the OAL/Brown stamp are the signatures, all in blue pen, of Eddie Matthews (512), Willie McCovey (521) and Hank Aaron (755), while to the right are the signatures, also in blue pen, of Ernie Banks (512), Frank Robinson (586), Reggie Jackson (563) and Eddie Murray (504). This item comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A64855).
