In July of 1940 Babe Ruth played a round of golf at Twin Lakes Golf Course. One lucky teenager, George Wilson, had the honor of being his caddy that day. Ruth presented him this single-signed baseball as a “thank you” for his services and comes directly from the Wilson family. Ruth signed the sweet spot in black ink and in our opinion rates a 6. Minor toning and spot staining are present. This baseball is accompanied by a Full JSA LOA and a photo of Wilson caddying with Ruth on the course.
