Babe Ruth Signed Baseball

Circa 1947

Official Reach W. Harridge American League baseball, signed “Babe Ruth” across the sweet spot in fountain pen. The autograph is graded “7” by PSA, with an inscription on the panel above reading “To H.A. Schlup” and dated August 15, 1947 (in an unknown hand).

This baseball bears the bold signature of George Herman “Babe” Ruth, the most celebrated figure in baseball history. Signed during the height of his fame, it embodies the enduring legacy of a player whose charisma and power reshaped the game and captured the imagination of a nation.

Few artifacts convey the spirit of America’s early sports era more directly than a ball signed by Ruth himself — a tangible link to the golden age of baseball and the man who became its defining legend. Exhibited alongside the 1928 “We Know What He Can Do” sheet music, it illustrates Ruth’s transformation from athlete to enduring cultural icon.
