I have alluded to this pick-up in another thread, but I finally sprung for a Ruth. My pseudo-goal is to slowly acquire handwritten letters of HOF'ers, starting with the first class, but Ruth and Matty were going to be nearly impossible, so I'm compromising. I have a Cobb and my Johnson is particularly nice, but that's getting off-track.
This autograph was obtained by Bernie's mother at the Ward Theatre in the Bronx and sent to her son, who was stationed in Ohio - Ruth was appearing at various Bronx movie theaters in a War Bond effort.
Next up is Wagner.
