$6,749.10
Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig's faded steel-tip fountain black ink signature appears across the sweet spot of this offered Official American League William Harridge baseball. The ball, circa 1934-39, boasts only a faint amount of light toning, but is still white and eye-appealing. Gehrig was the understated counterpart to Babe Ruth as a key figure of the New York Yankees' "Murderers' Row" lineup of the 1920s, blasting line drives while becoming synonymous with sporting longevity thanks to his streak of 2,130 consecutive games. A seven-time World Series champion, Gehrig crushed 493 career home runs while hitting .340 with 1,995 RBI and 534 doubles. Tragically, Gehrig's career ended with the onset and diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, leading to "The Iron Horse's" death at the age of 37 in 1941. Gehrig was enshrined at the National Baseball Hall of Fame by means of special election in 1939, the same year that his uniform number "4" became the first number retired in American sports. Please note that JSA (X28748) states in their LOA, "This ball has been professionally cleaned. Latent signatures have been obscured in an effort for this to display as a single-signed item."
