The 1934 Japan Tour was a 12-city barnstorming baseball tour of Japan that took place in November and December 1934. It featured an all-star team of American League baseball players, playing against a Japanese team that would become the Yomiuri Giants. The tour included Earl Averill, Lou Gehrig, Charlie Gehringer, Lefty Gomez, Connie Mack, Jimmie Foxx, Babe Ruth, Moe Berg and other American League players, as the National League would not allow their players to participate. More than half a million Japanese filled the streets of Tokyo to welcome Ruth and 14 other all-star baseball players for the barnstorming tour. The Americans played 18 games against the All-Nippon team, featuring many of Japan’s top players, in front of tens of thousands of fans. The games were played in Meiji-Jingu Stadium in Tokyo, Koshien Stadium in Kobe, Yagiyama Baseball Field in Sendai and others throughout the country. The Americans won all eighteen games. Ruth would hit 13 home runs during the tour. This is a lovely REACH William Harridge OAL baseball, in VG-EX condition. There are 18 signatures, including: Babe Ruth (sweetspot), Moe Berg, Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Grove, and Charlie Gehringer. The signatures are done in black pen and overall rate 3-5, in our opinion. Accompanied by a BECKETT LOA.
