Comes with detailed Letter Of Provenance from the owner of the ball as well as full Letters Of Authenticity from PSA DNA and JSA. The letter states: The ball was first signed August 9th or 10th, 1922 for my Grandfather, Emmet Hartkopf (11 at the time). My Great Grandfather , August Hartkopf gave Babe a knife from Camillus Cutlery where he worked and got the ball signed.
The Yankees were playing an exhibition game against the Syracuse Stars in Star Park, Syracuse. The ball was last signed June 4th, 1947 when the American Legion put on game.Through his activity with the American Legion, August was able to get it signed again. Legion Night was the next day at MacArthur Stadium Syracuse. I think this was the same ball park as Star, but had been renamed? It has been in my family since then. With 2 signatures of Babe Ruth, the man who built Yankee Stadium, this Official American League baseball is a must for the advanced Babe Ruth collector.
