Pristine Babe Ruth Autographed Baseball Enters Hobby from Memory Lane
He spent 35 years as a dentist, but Carvel Lincoln was a fireballing 16 year-old pitcher in August of 1947. His improbably loaded American Legion baseball team from Idaho featured two future Major Leaguers, and as they made their way through the sectional tournament, the boys from Boise would cross paths with the most famous ballplayer of all time. Sixty-one years later, the souvenir an ailing Babe Ruth handed out that day is about to become one of the premier items in Memory Lane`s May 17 Spring Fever Rarities sports memorabilia auction.
