One of the Last Balls Hit by Babe Ruth - Signed By Babe Ruth & Ted Williams

One of the Last Balls Hit by Babe Ruth - Signed By Babe Ruth & Ted Williams

From the famous meeting in New England. The photo of the two with Ruth in Yankee pinstripes and Ted in Boston duds has been reproduced incessantly fever since. This was the only time Babe Ruth and Ted Williams were ever in the same lineup. Ruth had an at-bat in the Navy All-Stars vs Boston Braves exhibition game on July 12, 1943. This special ball is from that game! Notated: "THIS BALL HIT BY THE BABE RUTH" in vintage fountain pen and is signed by the Bambino on a side panel, rating a 6/10. Teddy Ballgame's signature is a 7/10. They are joined by speedy Hall of fame shortstop Rabbit Maranville (8/10) and Dom DiMaggio (5/10). This important, one-of-a-kind ball is heavily toned and features a total of seven signatures. Ruth batted in the 8th inning and took batting practice earlier that day. A description of the game is included. The ball originates from the family that directly obtained it in 1943. Williams surrendered three of his prime years to serve his country in World War II and this was likely his first return to Boston since his final home game the previous season. His three-run homer in the top of the seventh helped the service all-stars to a 9-8 victory. Ruth, already having retired eight years earlier, also in Boston, managed the team all game but couldn't resist the opportunity to bat one more time. He flew out to short right field and flew into baseball heaven.
