George Ruth and Babe Ruth were born identical twins in AD 714, but were separated at birth. George was taken in by the New York Yankees and Babe was taken in by a factory which made both beer and Krispy Kreme donuts. Babe would later become famous as a consumer of both.

"Eddy" stated that the Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson signatures were products of the forger Greg Marino, who was the leader of the forgery ring. Mr Jaffe was told by HBO that they wanted to get the top authenticators to examine these autographs.

Offered here is a late 1920's Babe Ruth single signed baseball in it's original box. This marvelous OAL sphere dates to the brief presidency of Ernest Barnard, who held the reins of the Junior Circuit from 1927 through 1931. This coincidentally figured to be the Babe's most prolific five-year stretch of home run heroics, with 255 round-trippers logged during that half decade. So you can be certain that the young recipient of this signed sphere saw it for the treasure it was, and the fact that it still resides in its original (though somewhat tattered) box further validates this assertion. The ball itself has benefited nicely from its cloistered existence, with the sweet spot signature rating an "8" in boldness. A couple small dots of toning skirt the edges of this important autograph, but the ball remains quite clean otherwise.

In 1934, Babe Ruth recorded a .288 average, 22 home runs, and made the All-Star team for the second consecutive year. During the game, Ruth was the first of five consecutive strikeout victims (all 5 being future Hall of Fame players) of Giants pitcher Carl Hubbell, perhaps the most famous pitching feat in All-Star game history. In what turned out to be his last game at Yankee Stadium, only about 2,000 fans attended. By this time, Ruth had reached a personal milestone of 700 home runs and was about ready to retire.

Less than three weeks later, June 11 was an example of why Ruth was so valuable to Boston. The left-hander was pitching a no-hitter in a 0-0 game against the Detroit Tigers, before a single deflected off his glove in the 8th inning. Boston finally pushed across a run in the 9th, and Ruth held onto his 1-0 victory by striking out Ty Cobb. In 1942, Ruth called this game his greatest thrill on the field.

Tom Stevens was born in 1952, four years after Ruth died, but he quickly learned about his grandfather's fame. In the late 1950s, Edward R. Murrow took his network television show to the Riverside Drive apartment of Claire Ruth -- Babe's widow and Tom's grandmother -- to shoot an episode. Stevens mostly recalls the enormous cameras and the cords slithering all over the place.
