This Official American League (Harridge) ball has found its way home again, signed by the Babe in 1947 at Dallas, Texas' Reverchon Park, literally across the street from the Heritage offices. It comes to us from the son of Harry Rubin, an early twentieth century European immigrant who embraced his adopted country's national pastime with a fervor, spending much of his young adult years at Yankee Stadium in awe of the Babe. In 1933, Rubin was forced to leave New York for Dallas, though his love of baseball, and the Yankees specifically, never faltered. So, when Rubin was trying to advance the sport in Dallas as the district athletic officer of the American Legion, he rather optimistically placed a call to his idol asking for assistance. Typical of Ruth's well-documented generosiity, he accepted the invitation, arriving at Dallas Love Field airport to huge crowds headed by Rubin and Dallas Mayor Jimmy Temple. Now, six decades later, the prized keepsake of that meeting arrives on our auction block.
