Posted By: <b>Tom</b><p>Hello all,<br />A friend of mine's father has a ball signed by the Babe. He got it from his father (b. 1913). At first my friend thought it was signed by Ruth and one other, but it looks like the other is the signature of JC Toole (president of the Int Lge around 1921-1928). Were presidential signatures stamped on minor league balls that early?<br /><br />I only have these two pictures. I don't have the ball in hand. <br /><br />Interested in your opinions before we get too excited. Thanks, Tom<br /><br /><img src="http://www.baseballresearch.com/ruth1.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.baseballresearch.com/ruth2.jpg"><br />
