Rarely, if ever, do Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig signed baseballs come with provenance. This one does! The precious orb is signed by Yankee greats Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Mark Koenig and Benny Bengough. Later it was signed by Hank Aaron circa 1974 (many did this to Babe Ruth signed baseballs when Hammerin' Hank passed the Babe or was about to). The "H" in Hank has been partially enhanced in an unknown hand. It is also signed by Crip Polli, who was a minor leaguer for the Yankees in the late '20s. On an interesting looking Grayco King of the Diamond baseball there is a smudge on the Babe's "B". There is a light coat of shellack and some rippling in the baseball. Most importantly the baseball comes with two incredible 3x4.5" Type I snapshot photos of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig signing this during spring training! Comes with PSA LOA.
