Did Babe Ruth's signature change at all late in his life say 1946/47/48 or did it remain as is? I know some players changed later in life it got. Of course he only lived until 53 so he never really got old old.

I would say that Ruth's signature was very consistent during those years.

not bad......that was Babe Ruth's great uncle who fought in the civil war. Legend has it when the canon broke, he would throw canon balls from 2-300 feet out at the soldiers in the South......where the phrase he has a canon for an arm comes from. ; )
