No two names in baseball history evoke more reverence than Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Their legends have reached mythical proportions and their faces are woven into the tapestry of American folklore. Their statures in the realm of sports memorabilia are similarly unparalleled. Offered here is a wonderful example of a dual-signed ball featuring the Murderer's Row teammates, one of the most coveted collectibles in the hobby.
The red-and-black stitched Official National League (Heydler) baseball dates to the 1926-33 manufacturing period. Ruth’s sweet spot signature and Gehrig's autograph on the south panel are each done in blue ink that averages 4/10 in strength, with Ruth's larger loops getting the benefit of an extra point for eye appeal. The moderately soiled, evenly-toned ball itself exhibits scuffing but remains in very good shape overall for its near-century age. Includes full LOAs from PSA/DNA and Beckett.
