Another Babe Ruth Ball Walks In

What is a "Clubhouse"?

[ullmandds]

clubhouse signatures were somewhat common back then because there was such a demand for a certain players autographs that someone in the clubhouse...a coach...equipment manager...basically anyone usually affiliated with the team will sign a players name as a souvenir for a fan.

Forgery: Bad intentions. Meant to deceive.

Clubhouse: Some kid, a ball boy, a bat boy, a clubhouse attendant, etc. would mimic a signature and sign the name to a team baseball.

Typically a "clubhouse" was used on a team signed baseball. Babe may have been busy or just didn't feel like signing a team ball and may give someone a $5 to sign his name to 50 baseballs. And they would try to mimic his signature.

Definitely a Clubhouse Ruth, but pretty nice Miller Huggins. He is a very tough HOF auto, if that's any consolation.

Have your guy call "Gone with the Stain" get that Ruth right off there. Then you have a nice single signed Huggins!

What leads you to believe the signature is from the clubhouse and not Ruth himself? What do I need to watch for when a Ruth ball shows up where I work?
