Official B. Johnson American League baseball which exhibits evident game use including soiling, surface wear, and several impact marks. The ball has been signed across the sweet spot by Babe Ruth in blue fountain pen rating 6 out of 10. Additional signatures include Lou Gehrig, Ray Schalk, Jimmy Ringand a few others ranging from 2-5 out of 10. Blue ink notation to the right of the Ruth autograph "54th HR 1927" (blue ink over top of period black ink in unknown hand) denoting the history of the offered ball as having been hit by Babe Ruth for his 54th home run of the 1927 season. Additional notations on side panel in similar hand "1927 Sept 18 off Lyons Chicago" also display blue ink on top of period black ink. The history of the baseball can be specifically traced to Buddy Radin who was in attendance of the Chicago White Sox versus New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium on September 18, 1927. By that point in the season, the only mysteries left for the Bronx Bombers would be how far ahead they would finish above Philadelphia and how many home runs Ruth would hit. In the second game of the double header Ruth belted Ted Lyons' pitch into the stands for his 54th home run of the season. Young Buddy Radin was the lucky fan who caught the Ruth home run ball and along with his father after the game obtained signatures of Ruth, Gehrig, and pitcher Lyons along with a few others. The 1927 season would end up being one of the most iconic in the history of the game with Ruth leading the Yankees to a World Series sweep after establishing a new single season record with 60 home runs. With only a scant few other Ruth home run baseballs from the heralded 1927 season known to exist we were not able to document a higher home run number example to have been previously discovered. Very desirable Ruth signed home run baseball from the pinnacle of the Murderer's Row era in 1927. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA along with several notarized Radin family letters of provenance specifically corroborating its history as being Ruth's 54th home run caught by Buddy Radin: Ball: VG-EX, Ruth signature: EX
