Henry Hersch, a World War II hero and recipient of the Medal of Honor, formed a significant friendship with Sam "Boobie" Rudofker, son of the founder of After Six Formal Wear. Hersch's unique position as Vice President of Sales in the fashion industry allowed him to develop personal friendships with famous athletes, leading to various gifts.

Amongst these gifts was the baseball, allegedly one of the most famous of its kind, signed by Babe Ruth, which was found residing in my father's desk drawer. His role as Vice President of Sales and thus his relationships with sports celebrities suggests that the baseball is an authentic artifact.

While definitive documentation of the ball's acquisition is currently unavailable, the personal belongings and unique history surrounding Hersch suggest a credible connection between him and the star athletes. This document verifies the provenance of the Babe Ruth-signed baseball, compiling available information on its inheritance, discovery among Hersch's belongings, and his probable receipt of the gift due to his professional connections and distinguished position.
