Jim - cool Ruth photos, but those are almost certainly publicity photos carefully choreographed by his publicist. Could have posed for the photo, signed 5 balls, click click click, and walked out to meet a female admirer in the lobby. (Do you think Marilyn Monroe stood over subway grates very often?) Of course I don't know that. Ruth signed a ton of stuff. Of course. But he died at age 53. Rose lived to be 83. 30 more years. . . . . 11,000 more days on earth. 11,000 days where his full time job was sitting in public places as often as he could and signing everything under the sun. Rose was literally signing stuff THE DAY HE DIED!
I will put my money on Rose.
