FWIW there may be no connection at all to Ruth per se. I am not sure if it is the lighting, but it seems to me that the Babe used a different pen than did the rest of the signors. While this does not necessarily mean that it was signed at a different time, it definitely increases the possibility. The possibility exists that this was originally a Ruth single that someone had others add to later.
Not saying this is 100% the case, but it is a possibility anyway.
