We had to include at least one Babe Ruth moment in the Greatest Moments in Yankee History, and the Greatest Moment in Yankee History from the 1930s was Ruth's "Called Shot".

The setting was baseball's greatest stage: Game 3 of the 1932 World Series in Wrigley Field. The Cubs and the Cubs fans were riding Ruth all game long and in the fifth inning Ruth had enough. He stepped out of the box and appeared to point out to center field, possibly indicating that he would hit one out. Then, of course, he hit a mammoth shot that easily cleared the wall in center field. To this day, baseball historians debate whether the Babe "called his shot", but for Yankee fans, there was and is no doubt.

This package honors that legendary moment with a baseball autographed by the Bambino himself. No serious memorabilia collection is complete without a quality autograph from the greatest baseball player of all time and this baseball certainly qualifies as a centerpiece item. The ball has been signed by Ruth on the sweet spot, as was his custom. The certificate of authenticity notes that the baseball once held four additional signatures (including teammates Bob Meusel and Tony Lazzeri) which have since faded or been removed, but Ruth's signature is still strong, and the baseball is in great condition with blue and red stitching. The package also includes an authentic 1932 World Series Program from Wrigley Field which, although creased (likely by the fan who purchased it at the game over 90 years ago for the price of 25 cents!), it remains unscored with the lineups pre-printed on the center page and is fully complete and intact.

The baseball comes with a letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
