The 1927 New York Yankees had just won the World Championship by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates on October 8, 1927. It was a magical year in professional baseball. The Bustin' Babes team was assembled from area town ball and company players. One of these players was Babe Jenny of Sioux City, Iowa. Babe Jenny was drafted by the St Louis Cardinals as a pitcher, but turned it down as he had stable employment when jobs were scarce in America. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig signed a baseball given to Babe Jenny's wife by Babe Ruth on October 18, 1927 in Sioux City, Iowa at the historic ballgame at Stock Yards Field. The baseball was handed down to Babe’s grandson from whom this was purchased directly from in 2021 by the current owner who has professionally stored this treasure since. This historical baseball carries the classic story and also includes a dozen or more historical photograph prints supporting the October 18, 1927 event in Sioux City, Iowa and Babe Jenny baseball player photos. There are also 6 professionally framed photographs which are available for purchase with the baseball as an additional option. This historic baseball has been authenticated by Beckett on an official 1927 baseball. Signatures are solid and display well together as shown in photos. There are 7 other light authentic signatures on the baseball as noted on COA but do not obscure the Ruth/Gehrig display quality at all on this beautiful 1927 Official American League Baseball, stamped in red by Commissioner Ban Johnson. You also receive a small hard cover story book which contains the story about the origin of the baseball with many printed supporting photos.
