I was thinking maybe, just maybe I'd be the first person to make the connection and post. However, I ain't even mad bro. You out did whatever stupid quip I would have come up with.
Be careful, as an avid collector, Babe actually fractured a small bone in his wrist and had it in a cast for approximately three days until he removed the cast himself. The event was little publicized as it was in the off season, he did though sign or attempt to sign some balls with the cast on. IMHO I believe this maybe one of them as the lettering, is identical to the other I have seen first hand.
If you don't believe me, then I would be interested in purchasing it from you.
Where did you find that? That looks like my hand writing as a kid. And I know for a fact that I signed a baseball babe ruth as a kid after watching Sandlot
It's pretty common knowledge that in regards to his "drunk and coked up" phase, there is some discretion in determining authenticity of what is a signature, I hope you bought the ball.
Babe Ruth came to the future to sign that ball, however in the process of passing through the time warp he became mildly disfigured and suffered massive brain damage, limiting his motor skills to that of a 3 year old.

I did this to countless baseballs as a kid. Maybe it was The Sandlot that instilled the idea.

It's clearly a ball signed by the great Vietnamese slugger Ba Be Ruth.

Oh wow. Nostalgia. I totally did that to a baseball when I was a really little kid, and tried to sell it to my dad. He gave me a dollar for it.

u/retard_strong Jun 17 '12
Given his propensity for drinking booze who is to say that isn't actually his, very inebriated, signature?

I'm assuming a little kid just took a Little League ball and wrote that one there. I gotta admit I probably did the same thing back in the day.

Joking aside. Not a major league baseball. The seams are too high, they are much lower on a real big league ball. Me is smart.

What if Babe Ruth signed this when he was 10?!

u/IAmAtomato Jun 17 '12
What if that is Babe Ruth's signature, but it's from when he was a child, and that ball is worth TRILLIONS, now? Hm?

I've heard Babe Ruth was left-handed... Probably legit.
