Babe Ruth Autograph for Sale on EBay

Do you think it's real? Looks like he just bought one of those fake replica ones and then dropped it into a cup of coffee. No way he gets $870,000 for this. The description on the auction is shaky with bad grammer, like a 5th grader wrote it. >>

Throw in a Baby Ruth candy bar and I'll think about it. Why would a Yankee fan want a Red Sox team ball? Why would a Red Sox fan want Babe Ruth's autograph? Give it to the Sandlot kids and let Smalls hit it over the fence again.

Book Review: The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs

"...when Barry Bonds hit 72 home runs in 2001, his longest (except the ones hit in altitude enhanced Denver) was 462 feet. In Ruth's day, any drive of that length hit to center field wasn't good enough for a homer"

Bill Jenkinson's book The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs is a great baseball read. It brings Babe Ruth to life like never before. Things I never knew about baseball in the early part of the 20th century are revealed in this book. Bill Jenkinson convincingly communicates that Babe Ruth is 100% the greatest baseball player that has ever lived. Why? Read the book. Bill give specific reasons with scientific proof. Nobody has ever hit the ball harder than Ruth...including today's juiced players.

You won't be able to keep the book down. There are even some areas in here where Bill talks about HRs that Ruth hit in Exhibition games that may have gone over 575 to 600 feet! He's got the newspaper clippings to prove it. This book really opened my eyes. I knew Ruth was a legend, but I never knew exactly why and was surprised that it was at such a level superior to anyone else.
