1927

Large format photographic composite offers a sizable image of Babe Ruth with bat in hand and the year (1927) is noted below. "60" Numerals denoting his record setting home run total and it is decorated throughout with a baseball corresponding to each that lists the date it was hit and pitcher who gave it up. These oversized pieces (21"x32" in frame) are among the more desirable related to the great slugger which were issued during this prolific time in his career and the select few which remain generally originate from individuals with whom he shared a close relationship. The offered example has been signed "To Ann + Ed Wells, From Babe Ruth, April 15th 1929." Wells had joined the Yankees in 1929 and was assigned the locker in between Ruth and Lou Gehrig. He would play alongside the legendary duo until 1932. Fountain pen signature rates approx. 6 out of 10 and there is mild toning and no other evident wear. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA: Sig.
