Official National League (Heydler) ball signed in black fountain pen by eight individuals, including five prominent Hall of Famers: Babe Ruth (grading 7/10), Lou Gehrig (8/10), Miller Huggins (7/10), Tony Lazzeri (6/10), and Rogers Hornsby (6/10). Ruth's signature adorns a side panel along with that of former Major League player Jack Slattery, while the signatures of Gehrig and Huggins appear together on a separate side panel. It should be noted that Huggins' signature in any form is rare, especially on a baseball, because he died on September 25, 1929 at the age of fifty-one. Baseballs featuring the signatures of Ruth, Gehrig, and Huggins (outside of Yankees team balls) have always been highly coveted by collectors, and the addition of the Lazzeri and Hornsby signatures make this an exceptional example. This baseball dates from the 1926 to 1933 manufacturing period, which means it was obviously signed sometime between 1926 and 1929. The fact that it features four members of the New York Yankees, plus Hornsby and Slattery (who played with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1906) might indicate that it was signed at the 1926 World Series. The other two signatures on the ball do not appear to be those of former Major League players (one is Lewis Waldron and the other is illegible). Excellent condition overall. Full LOA from PSA.
