1928

Red and black stitched Spalding J. Heydler Official National League baseball has been signed by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Leo Durocher, Ben Paschal, Cedric Durst, Myles Thomas, and Matty Matthews. All are done in fountain pen rating 7 to 8 out of 10 and the ball displays soiling/discoloration and areas of surface wear. The "R" in Ruth's signature and first name of Thomas' have been traced over and this appears to have been done in the period, likely to correct a faulty pen. The Yankees claimed their second consecutive World Series Championship in 1928 behind the powerful hitting of Babe Ruth (who lead the League in home runs) and Lou Gehrig (lead in doubles and RBI) and a pitching staff anchored by Hall of Famers Waite Hoyt and Herb Pennock.
