Item Description
Single, signed National League Spalding ball featuring perhaps one of the most sought after autographs of the 20th century, Babe Ruth. Ball includes text "Official National League Ford C Frick President." Frick was elected president of the National League in 1934 and Ruth retired in 1935. Ball is inscribed "To Mark Richardson From Babe Ruth." Boldly signed in black fountain pen, inscription and signature wraps around ball and onto the sweet spot. Ball has a thin layer of shellac from the era preserving it and giving it a muted glossy appearance w/no discoloration. Exceptionally dark and bold inscription/signature. VF.
