I once got a Babe Ruth signed baseball from a man who had it in his possession since he was a boy in 1948. He was visiting an aunt in the hospital, and she told him that Ruth was a patient there too. The boy was told that he could meet him and went to his hospital room. When he got there, Ruth was in bed, and on a table next to him he had boxes stacked with baseballs. Even at the end of his life he was signing for anyone who asked. Great story.
