Description: William Harridge Official American League baseball signed by (20) members of the U.S. Tour of Japan All-Star team. Signatures include Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Connie Mack, Lefty Gomez, Charlie Gehringer (twice) Earl Averill, and Moe Berg who also was serving the U.S. intelligence agency gathering information while on tour. The Tour was a resounding success drawing thousands of Japanese fans into the streets to witness the American players and most certainly the greatest of which was Babe Ruth. Although the Americans dominated the exhibition series winning the vast majority of the games, the Tour was deemed a wonderful success for the Japanese who showcased their talents against the best in the world. Additionally, the political tensions between the United States and Japan were certainly eased in part due to the success of the Tour. Upon his return, manager Connie Mack proclaimed at the New York Sportswriters Dinner "that there would be no war between the United States and Japan." Of course, history would dictate another fate than the one Mack believed. Very fine example of this highly coveted team signature baseball. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA and full LOA from JSA.
