Interesting multi-signed baseball from keymembers of the cast of the 1942 classic Lou Gehrig biographical movie"The Pride of the Yankees." The sweet spot of the Spalding OfficialLeague baseball is printed "ROY MILTON" (gift recipient whose role in making the film is unknown) and signed below "Withappreciation Eleanor Gehrig" in bold black pen. The panel below has been signed by Yankee greats Babe Ruth (4-5/10) and Bill Dickey as well as actor Gary Cooper whoportrayed Gehrig in the film. On the panel to the right of the sweetspot is Director Sam Wood and Producer Sam Goldwyn. On thepanel to the left is co-star Walter Brennan and former MLB journeyman BabeHerman who doubled for Cooper in long shots and served as technicaladviser. The ball has toned fairly evenly over the years and has afew noticeable scuffs but nothing that obscured the autographs. It is mounted on a rocker-style ink blotter with the stenciled lettering ofRuth and Gehrig's famed super-agent: "Compliments of Christy Walsh -'The Pride of the Yankees.'"Wonderful display piece.
