The 1927 season for Babe Ruth, and the New York Yankees as a unit, is by all accounts the benchmark by which greatness is measured. To date, comparisons are made on a consistently ongoing basis against the magical season which Ruth enjoyed in 1927 when he belted a record 60 home runs, an impressive .356 batting average, and 164 RBIs en route to leading the Yankees to the World Championship. 1927-Era signatures of Ruth remain a pinnacle in the hobby as well, with Ruth dropping his '27-era "Babe" style & moving back to a quicker non-quoted variety. Offered here is one of the stronger examples to ever hit the open market in this Bambino hand signed Spalding Star baseball on the sweet spot in stunning steel tip pen. Both signature & stamping of the sphere remain strong & in fine condition with even toning & minor scuffing. A collectors notation date's the signature to "Jan 23, 1927" below the signature of Ruth in blue fountain pen. Full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
