Exceptional Babe Ruth Single-Signed Baseball with PSA/DNA Graded 10 Autograph

Babe Ruth’s Legendary Single-Signed Baseball: A Collector’s Dream

The Iconic Legacy of Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth, the most celebrated athlete of his generation, transcended the game of baseball to become a true legend. Known as the “Sultan of Swat,” Ruth’s prowess on the field was unmatched, and his influence extended far beyond the diamond. In his inaugural season with the New York Yankees in 1920, Ruth shattered records by hitting 54 home runs, a feat that far surpassed his previous record of 29. His remarkable career included leading the league in home runs 12 times and setting a legendary record of 60 home runs in a single season. Ruth’s career slugging percentage of .690 remains a testament to his extraordinary talent, standing far ahead of runner-up Ted Williams’ .634.

A Pristine Piece of Baseball History

Among the most coveted items in the realm of baseball memorabilia is a single-signed baseball by Babe Ruth. This particular baseball, a “Spalding Official Texas League” ball, is flawlessly signed in bold, blue ink across the sweet spot by Ruth himself. The signature, graded a perfect 10 by PSA/DNA, is darker than the navy blue tackle twill on a Yankee jersey, showcasing its exceptional quality. Notations on the ball, not in Ruth’s hand, indicate that it was signed in 1947 during a minor league game in Houston. The ball has retained much of its original white hue, with bold and clear stamps, making it a pristine example of Ruth’s autograph.

Unmatched Signature Quality

• Signature Grade: PSA/DNA has graded the signature a perfect 10, highlighting its exceptional clarity and boldness.
• Historical Context: Signed during a 1947 game in Houston, adding a unique historical element.
• Condition: The baseball is in EX-MT overall condition, with an autograph grade of 10 and a baseball grade of 6.
• Provenance: Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and backed by a LOA from PSA/DNA.
