Babe Ruth and Gehrig’s Legendary Ball | Pierre News

A 72-year-old Iowa man’s decades-old baseball—signed by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig—is finally authenticated, revealing a rare, priceless piece of baseball history. The ball, hit during batting practice and signed by both legends after a legendary on-the-spot impromptu duel, has been tucked away in a vault for 40 years. Passed down through family ties from California, it was gifted to Dave Huber in 1986 by a distant relative who remembered the tale. Though Huber always believed it was real, professional grading confirmed it—with a solid seven out of ten for the signatures and a modest three for the ball’s condition. While similar signed balls have fetched over $50,000, Huber and his family see it as irreplaceable heirloom, not for sale.
