A stamp on the side of this "Boys League" ball shows a logo for "A Century of Progress 1934". The Century of Progress International Exposition was held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Chicago as part of the 1934 World's Fair held in that city. According to our consignor this ball was signed by Babe Ruth at Al Lang Field in St. Petersburg Florida during Spring Training of 1935. Ruth's sweet spot signature rates an aesthetically pleasing 7-8/10. The ball itself is clean and unused preserved in EX-MT condition. A nice Ruth single on the upper end of the condition spectrum. LOA from PSA/DNA.
