My opinion is no, it's not real. Something I've seen from other posts asking for authenticity is about the aging of the paper beneath the signature. You can easily see all of the creases and wrinkles, yet they don't appear to have affected the signature in any way. So then it seems that someone asked Babe to sign a piece of paper that was already in horrible shape.
What I would say is that someone recently aged the paper and then forged Babe's signature over all of the creases. There are experts on this board that I would hope chime in their opinion, but just based on the signature not being affected by wrinkles and creases, I would assume its fake.
