A trove of Babe Ruth’s personal items, including his hand-stitched hunting gloves and a photograph Lou Gehrig signed for him, will go up for auction next year, his family announced Tuesday.
The granddaughter of the legendary Bronx Bomber, Linda Ruth Tosetti, 63, has been taking care of the collection since she was a ten-year-old responsible for “dusting the baseballs” she said.
But now, it’s time to part with the items.
“We are downsizing and there is no place anyone can house what we have,” Tosetti, whose mom is Dorothy Ruth Pirone, Ruth’s only biological child, told The Post.
