Babe Ruth Signed Cut (JSA)

Babe Ruth Signed Cut (JSA).

The "Sultan of Swat", "the Bambino," Babe Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time. Offered here is an absolutely gorgeous Babe Ruth signature, bold and strong. Signed in black steel-tip fountain pen. Ruth has signed his name on a .5 in x 3.5 in green-toned piece of paper that has perforations on two sides, and his name printed on the verso.Superlatives do not suffice in describing Babe Ruth. His place in sports and in the soul of America is unparalleled. Ruth began his MLB career as a star left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. The impression he left on the sport and his fans reached mythologic proportions, with "The Curse of the Bambino" - a superstitious sports curse in Major League Baseball (MLB) derived from the 86-year championship drought of the Boston Red Sox between 1918 and 2004 (the Red Sox sold Ruth to the Yankees in 1920). In 1936, Ruth was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its "first five" inaugural members.The icon of all icons!
