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.

You're wrong on this Steve. Don't want to get into argument about it. The facts, as they say in court, are the facts. None of these people signed as much as Ruth. Just a fact. And no, that photo was not staged for publicity purposes, rather, as an example of what Ruth did on a daily basis, as evidenced by a great number of people. You'll just have to believe what you want, and ignore the facts. I can't get through to you.
