Red Ruffing played in 22 American League campaigns with two years service in the military during World War 2 mixed in as well. After spending his early years with the Red Sox as a middling starter, he was traded to the Yankees in 1930 and turned the corner right into Cooperstown.  A key starter for six Yankees World Series winners, Ruffing has signed this 1939 Play Ball in blue ballpoint and PSA/DNA has graded it MINT 9; just a gorgeous autograph of this Yankees Hall-of-Famer. The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.
