Description
1932 Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball. One of the Babe's definitive moments would come less than nine months after he signed this OAL (Harridge) ball for a fan, as he would point to the center field wall of Wrigley Field in the third game of the World Series and then proceed to deliver the next pitch to a location well beyond it. A black ink side panel inscription from the year of the mythic "Called Shot" reads, "To Dick Rasberg, From Babe Ruth, Jan 20 - 1932." The quality of Ruth's writing is just fantastic, rating an impressive 8.5/10. The ball shows even toning and scattered foxing, but the latter doesn't dare to encroach upon the panel occupied by the Babe's greeting. A marvelous high-grade playing days single! LOA from PSA/DNA. LOA from James Spence Authentication.More information about Babe Ruth Sports Player.
