Reach W. Harridge Official American League baseball has been signed on the side panel, "To Susan Felkner, From Babe Ruth." Fountain pen signature is graded "6" by PSA. Ball displays mild even toning with a few minute scattered flaws. The date "7/25/47" is written on opposite side in unknown hand. Period newspaper accounts relay that The Babe had been in Montgomery, Alabama on that day and appeared in a parade with American Legion junior baseball players and then spoke before the crowd as the teams faced off that evening. Choice example with an interesting history. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA (graded 6): Sig. PSA "6", Ball EX-EX/MT
