Presented here is an Official Spalding Resilite Ervin "Pete" Fox model baseball bat that has been blessed with the most famous and coveted autograph in sports. According to accompanying documentation, the bat was originally sourced from the Fox estate while playing for the Detroit Tigers in the 1930's. During his tenure in Detroit, Fox and the Babe faced each other on numerous occasions when the Tigers played the Yankees.
The bat's prestigious presentation of the Bambino's autograph on the back of the barrel displays immaculately. Ideally positioned, Ruth's black ink signature rates 7/10 in strength and eye appeal, preserved nicely over the years under a light application of shellac. Relative to other items signed by the Sultan of Swat, bats are incredibly scarce. Includes a full LOA from PSA/DNA as well as previous paperwork and documentation from when this bat first came to the market in 1998.
