You know, I started to play when I was a boy but we did not have the equipment the boys have today. When you are young is the time to learn. Keep practicing and always try to improve yourself. With best wishes, Cordially yours, Babe Ruth [signed]." Ruth's signature has been scripted in black fountain pen.
