The most celebrated athlete of his generation, Babe Ruth's fame extends far beyond the game of baseball. Ruth exemplified the ultimate in sportsmanship and athleticism and was a hero of mythic proportions to youngsters and adults from all walks of life. He was among the first five players inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936. Ruth became, and perhaps remains to this day, America’s most celebrated athlete. “REACH” manufactured OAL Harridge baseball. The ball has been signed on the sweet spot in blue steel-tip fountain ink by Hall of Famer Babe Ruth. PSA/DNA graded the signature an 8, ball 5 for an overall 7. The ball is in EX condition with an outstanding eye appeal. Accompanied by a full LOA from JSA and PSA/DNA and an additional LOP from our consignor stating the ball was uncovered from a family chest that was put away for 50+ years.
