In 1927, Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs, breaking his own record of 59 set in 1921. Lou Gehrig's 47 was the second most in the Major Leagues. Ruth had established an unimaginable long-ball standard and, outdoing that, Gehrig was named the league's Most Valuable Player. Their team lauded as the game's most dominant ever--a popular opinion that remains prevalent to this day. A choice collectible that highlights the historic legacy of both sluggers in their prime is this Official League sphere graced by both Ruth & Gehrig in striking black ballpoint. Adding to the appeal of this incredible orb is the rare placement of Gehrig on the sweet spot! Ever humble, Gehrig would generally always leave the sweet spot blank for his counterpart Ruth to sign, so seeing them both on a ball with Gehrig on the sweet spot is worthy of note! Easily one of the finest examples we have handled in an area of the hobby that seems to be increasing in value every year. Overall in fine condition with toning and fading expected from age. Authenticated by PSA/DNA with a full letter of authenticity.
