			That looks like a typical secretarial to me...

			Sorry.  Looks like a "Clubhouse" signature of Ruth, this style is seen around 1928-1929 on a lot of Yankees team balls.

			Jeff is quite correct.  It is a well-known clubhouse signature, used quite a bit in the late twenties. Many otherwise wonderful 1927 balls bear this signature.

			Thank you for the replies.  How about the Gehrig on the side panel?  Also a "clubhouse"?

			You will typically get the best, and fastest responses, if you show the whole ball initially :-)

			My apologies!  I understand, however, I didn't have the other photo until after it was posted.

			Ruth 100% fake.  It's a period secretarial with some value actually.  It's not a forgery, but rather secretarial.....

			The Gehrig is genuine.

			This is a great thread.  You've probably just seen a similar 'Ruth' signature on other genuine Yankee team balls, so it looked familiar.
