One was a boisterous playboy, the other a quiet introvert, but they shared a preternatural gift for the long ball and three World Championship celebrations during their fruitful partnership. The most essential "duo" ball in the collecting hobby, offered here is a Reach Official American League (Harridge) game used baseball signed by both Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig. The Babe takes up his standard sweet spot position in black fountain pen ink, with Gehrig at the eastern panel. The ball exhibits general handling wear but presents nicely, with both autographs still legible. Gehrig's signature has a habit of fading more quickly over time than Ruth's, but this is an exception! A fine relic, which has become one of the most sought-after selections in the market. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
