That's amazing. He was always my favorite growing up as a kid. I checked out a book from the library around 3rd grade and discovered we have the same birthday. That's an item I'd like to own one day. A signed Ruth ball.

It's amazing how much better the penmanship is on this ball than on those of contemporary players.

Interesting comment. I would hardly call the 'sigs' of today's players "penmanship".

Ah c'mon - you don't consider this penmanship? Haha...

Maybe it's stupid for me to worry about this: But with the rampant identity theft these days, I wonder if some players are nervous about putting out thousands of clear samples of their signatures for total strangers? Maybe that's a factor in today's scribbled signings? Lew Burdette sometimes signed his name "Lou" and Tommy Lasorda often signs "Tom"; maybe for similar concerns?

That's supposed to be a recommendation to players from the MLBPA regarding why many active players won't sign unlined 3x5 index cards.
