Babe Ruth Baseball
It’s about FUN. It’s about PASSION. It’s about WINNING.
Description:
In the sports collecting world a high grade baseball signed by Babe Ruth on the "sweet spot" is considered the Holy Grail. This is one such baseball!
Historically, the Babe's signature has been the hobby's safest bet. It has been common knowledge within the community that every great sports memorabilia collection begins with a Babe Ruth single signed baseball. Presented for the most discerning of collectors is an Spalding Official League baseball that bears an original, dark black fountain pen autograph of the man who reinvented baseball during the decade of the 1920's. This is simply an outstanding item and certainly among the clearest examples you will ever encounter on vintage horsehide.
Highlights:
- Ruth-signed baseballs, photos and memorabilia in general have escalated quite consistently through the decades. In fact the finest known Ruth single-signed ball fetched $388,000.00 in a 2012 public auction, and many believe that very same ball will one day command a seven-figure sum---just like one of his game used bats or jerseys (the highest of which was hammered down recently at a price in excess of 4 million dollars).
- Whether you’re just starting your collection or looking for that one flagship piece, this Ruth single certainly fits the bill. They're seldom found in nicer condition, but if so the cost simply would be prohibitive.

Babe Ruth
Who was Babe Ruth?
George Herman "Babe" Ruth Jr. (February 6, 1895 – August 16, 1948) was an American professional baseball player whose career in Major League Baseball (MLB) spanned 22 seasons, from 1914 through 1935. Nicknamed "The Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat", he began his MLB career as a star left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. Ruth established many MLB batting (and some pitching) records, including career home runs (714), runs batted in (RBIs) (2,213), bases on balls (2,062), slugging percentage (.690), and on-base plus slugging (OPS) (1.164); the last two still stand as of 2019.[1] Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time. In 1936, Ruth was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its "first five" inaugural members.
