This is one great looking baseball with the "Sultan of Swat" as the focal point. The Worth Official League baseball is cream colored and grades EX+ with no scuffs or spotting. Ruth's sweet-spot signature is in 9/10 blue fountain ink and is protected by a light coating of shellac. In short, one of the nicest signatures on a baseball that we have ever seen. It comes with a JSA LOA. Sixty-three years after his death, Ruth remains the gold standard of sports icons, having lived large both on the field and off, saving major league baseball by elevating it into a must-see enterprise with his legendary power and star appeal.
