Here is the route from Ruth's address on 88th Street to the Commodore. It's a little over 4 miles away. Not sure why he would be at a hotel when he had his own apartment in the city.

He wouldn't have gone there to check into a room, but maybe an old friend had come to town and they were meeting for a meal or a couple drinks at the hotel restaurant/bar.

For that matter, he didn't necessarily have to sign it at the hotel - it could've been a chance encounter on the street and that was the only piece of paper the fan had available.

I would not be interested in this Ruth.

First of all, I am not authenticating the autograph in question what so ever.
Jimmie Reese, Babe Ruth's roomie on the NY Yankees, said he only roomed with Babe's luggage.
Babe was a notorious partier and a shagger of women according to all accounts in many biographies on Ruth that I have read.
FWIW, I certainly wouldn't use geography as a barometer of authenticity in this argument. Just my 2 cents.

I'll leave the authenticity question to folks on this board that are way more familiar with his sig than me.

Carry on my wayward sons....

One needs to look no further than the “e” in Babe to know this is no good.

Has the OP (Don) replied as to whether or not that "Ruth" is his?

Doesn't look like it, Chris. That is telling.

Gonna go ahead and say JSA May have gotten this one wrong

Thought Saco had an okay reputation. Curious what David A has to say about the signature.
