Incredible 4/22/1935 High-Grade Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball

A Legendary Babe Ruth Signed Baseball

An Iconic Signature

In the realm of baseball memorabilia, few items can rival the allure and historical significance of a Babe Ruth signed baseball. This particular piece, a “JOHNNY EVERS CO.” manufactured “BOY’S LEAGUE” baseball, is graced with the near-perfect signature of the legendary Babe Ruth. Executed in period black fountain ink, the signature is a testament to Ruth’s enduring legacy, and in our opinion, it rates a near-perfect 10.

Condition and Provenance

The baseball itself is in fantastic condition, showcasing a beautiful patina with minor reddish spots that do not detract from its displayability. This remarkable artifact comes with a rich history, having been signed by Ruth on April 22, 1935, following an exhibition game between the Boston Braves and the Albany Senators. Our consignor’s grandfather, Al McNeely, a professional ballplayer for the Hollywood Stars and the Albany Senators, witnessed this momentous occasion alongside his wife. The ball has remained in the family’s possession ever since, accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance.

Historical Context

The manufacturer’s stamp on the ball reads “Johnny Evers Co. Sporting Goods – Albany, New York.” Notably, Johnny Evers served as the general manager for the Albany Senators in 1935, adding another layer of historical intrigue to this piece. This baseball is, without a doubt, the strongest Babe Ruth single-signed baseball we have ever handled.
