Here is my signed Ruth ball which I have had for many years. It is personalized to someone whose name was "Buster" Bates. A couple of years ago in a Hunt auction, a signed personalized 8X10 photo "to Buster Bates" was also sold. At the time, I did not have the extra money to bid on it and had to let it go but now if anyone knows where it ended up, I would dearly like to "marry" the two items together. I don't ever recall seeing two personalized items (baseball/photo) made out to the same person although I know it probably happened a lot but maybe Buster Bates was someone special that Babe knew since he took time to sign two different items or maybe there were just two "Buster" Bates. Thanks if you are out there for getting in touch with me.
