Description
1938 Brooklyn Dodgers Team Signed Baseball with Babe Ruth. Still chasing his dream to manage a Big League ballclub, the great Bambino accepted the position of first base coach for the the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1938, though it would not prove to be the stepping stone he had hoped. In the end, Ruth's employment was revealed to be little more than a publicity stunt, a ploy to put fans in the stands to watch the forty-three year old Sultan swat a few batting practice home runs prior to the main event. Here he joins the team for which he wore his last Major League uniform, applying a solid black ink signature on the side panel. Unofficial ball exhibits considerable wear, while it also includes the following keys in light ink: Steinbeck, Russell, Cuyler and Herman. Please note that there eight signatures which are too light to determine. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.Guide Value or Estimate: $8,000 - up.
