Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball, 1928 Barnstorming Tour Autograph. JSA

The Great Bambino!

We always say that every great sports memorabilia collection begins with Babe Ruth — and we are beyond proud to offer this beauty. Presented here is a gorgeous Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball, dating to the height of The Great Bambino’s legendary career.

Ruth’s iconic signature is perfectly placed on the sweet spot and remains completely legible in blue fountain ink against the clean vintage leather. A side panel inscription (unknown hand) reads: “Oct. 20th 1928 Reading PA” — just 11 days after he and the New York Yankees swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1928 World Series, during a well-documented stop along the famed Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Barnstorming Tour. Of course, in addition to signing this baseball, Ruth thrilled the crowd with a towering home run that special day.

Quality Ruth singles are the blue-chip standard in sports memorabilia. Those signed during the prime of his Hall of Fame career in the late 1920s — like this one — are significantly scarcer than the more common examples signed post-retirement in the late 1930s and 1940s.

Nearly 100 years since he took his last swing, Ruth is still the most important name in the game. He is more than just a ballplayer — he is baseball lore… a true American icon. This baseball captures that sentiment perfectly: signed by Ruth at the height of his powers, fresh off another World Series title, and during a barnstorming tour that brought baseball’s brightest star to small-town America.

THIS IS AMERICA’S PASTIME!
