Ruth can do the impossible!

[JimStinson]

Both Lou Gehrig & Ted Williams both signed right handed too, Amazing that Probably the greatest left handed hitter of all time Ted Williams was a "Natural" Right handed person. When they asked him why he batted left handed , he didn't know and said that when he was a young boy the first time he ever picked up a baseball bat he batted "lefty"

I have played fairly competitive baseball and softball all my life. I play completely left handed. I write right handed. I kick right footed. .... I am not sure if its too unusual. I have played a lot of racketball too. I play it right handed. I think I am just confused.

This is the first time that I have agreed with you one hundred percent.

To get back on point, just to make sure I understand, are we looking at potential copies of an original Ruth signature, all authenticated?

If we can find a jsa loa for this:

Then yes, if not it looks like this particular autograph has been copied to near perfection and is floating around out there.

Does this show it

Ruth and Gehrig (natural lefties) were forced to write right-handed when they were children. Most left-handers were in those days. (My father was, also.)

That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw Leon's post about writing right-hand, but being left-handed for baseball. When i began school, I was changed to writing right-handed as well.
