Whether it be a bustling metropolis or a rural setting, American people were enamored with the very thought of Babe Ruth, and if the possibility of obtaining a signature of the hero ever was presented, it was thought to be the chance of a lifetime. Just that medium is presented here with a booming, nearly overbearing presentation of the "Bambino," sitting dead center on the sweet spot in larger than life fashion. His very name has taken on an almost mythical tone in the English language and is now used as a descriptive superlative, the very word "Ruthian" is used to accentuate the superior or larger than life qualities of even inanimate objects. For it is Babe Ruth who not only excelled at America's pastime, but also the one who helped pull the game from the bellows of the Black Sox scandal. Offered is an outstanding example of this prized orb that has been addressed by the great ballplayer in large fashion. This ever so lightly toned unofficial ball showcases the unmistakable script of Ruth in a flowing and attention-commanding fashion. The signature beams from the ball, while the red laces that encircle this grandiose piece of Americana creating a feast for the senses. This Wilson amateur league ball has been graded EX/MT+ 6.5 with an LOA PSA/DNA Steve Grad.
