This Babe Ruth Home Run Special ball with red and blue stitching has been signed by the Bambino with thick, fluid strokes in black fountain pen on the sweet spot. The ball is toned but this bold Ruth signature jumps off the ball. The signature is exemplary of Ruth's writing style during the early 1930s. While many balls still exist with Ruth's signature, one of this quality is quite rare and highly desirable.
