Do not miss out on an extremely rare opportunity to own your very own Babe Ruth autographed signed ball! This ball includes a Certificate of authentication. (JSA Authentication #: Y34572)
About the ball:
The ball was purchased for a substantial amount at auction by the late Rick More (without Sandra his wife knowing of the purchase). She only discovered that he owned it from when he passed away. Rick only told his best friend and his brother of the purchase. He did not tell them where he had hid it, although they only knew it was in Rick’s Canadian home. Fortunately, Sandra was able to find the ball and now we have the opportunity to auction off this once in a lifetime signed ball of the famous 1936 Hall of Fame Babe Ruth!
About Babe Ruth:
George Herman "Babe" Ruth (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 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.

Dear Sir/Mam
I was born and raised in Erie Penn’a and as a youngster had the wonderful pleasure to see Babe Ruth play there. It may have been an exhibition game - I am not sure. However the date was August 11, 1932 (1933?). I retrieved a ball when he hit a home run and after the game he was kind enough to sign it for me. I would like to know if you have documentation as to the above mentioned game and date, or any information. I appreciate your kindness if you have this for me. Thank you very much.
Respectfully,
Ralph H. Shuster
Note: (Only a retrieved ball Mr. Ruth Signed for me, not a home run)
