OAL(Appears to be 1927) baseball signed to the right near the sweet spot in 5/10 black ink by New York Yankee Hall of Fame Great Babe Ruth. There is a faint Ruth signature right on the sweet spot so it appears that the ball was originally signed by Ruth circa 1927 and the later signed by him again years later to the right of the sweet spot. On the panel to the left in 9-10/10 black felt tip pen legendary Hollywood comedian Bob Hope has signed many, many years later. The ball is also signed by 3 others. "Vic Ghezzi" with the number 70" below - Ghezzi was a PGA professional who won 11 tournaments as well as the 1941 PGA Championship. "Craig Wood" with the number "63" below - Wood was a PGA professional who won 21 times on the tour, including 2 majors. A 3rd name "Forest ???? ????????" with the date "6-13-42" is also present. Ball has evenly toned over the years and has numerous nicks and small scrapes.
Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
