Red-and-blue stitched “Reach” manufactured OAL Harridge baseball dating to 1932-33. Ruth has signed just to the right of the sweet spot in black fountain ink. In our opinion the large signature rates a 9. The west panel has been signed in black fountain ink by Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig (8/10) and Phil Rizzuto (7/10). “-VAN-ATTA- PITCHER” is written in an unknown hand in black ink on the stamp of the ball. This likely refers to Russ Van Atta, pitcher for the Yankees from 1933-35 and teammate of both Ruth and Gehrig. The ball is shellacked, well-toned and in VG-EX condition. Accompanied by a Full LOA from JSA.
