Babe Ruth Filled Out Signed Check to St. Albans Golf Club - PSA GEM MINT 10 Fantastic counter check drawn on the "Chemical Bank & Trust Co., 73 Broadway NYC," 8.5 x 3.25, boldly filled out and signed by Ruth, "Babe Ruth," payable to St. Albans Golf Club for $33.43, August 5, 1937. In fine condition, with loss to the upper left corner. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "GEM MT 10." Ruth autographs graded as a perfect "GEM MINT 10" are rare and highly coveted by collectors. Babe Ruth was an avid golfer who frequented St. Albans Golf Club in Queens, New York, during the off-season and in his retirement. Known for his larger-than-life persona on and off the baseball field, Ruth often played rounds with fellow athletes and celebrities—and St. Albans became one of his favorite retreats, offering a relaxing contrast to the pressures of professional baseball. Ruth's visits to the club contributed to its fame, attracting fans eager to catch a glimpse of the legendary 'Sultan of Swat' in a more leisurely setting. In 1929, the New York Times reported at length on a Ruthian feat at St. Alban's: a then-unbelievable drive estimated at 360 yards, described as 'a shot that rocked golfdom.' A subsequent revisit to the club, with a tape measure, found that the shot was a mere 325 yards, but the estimator defended his work by saying that he was accounting for the slice. Of the controversy, Ruth said: 'I've had quite a few question me, and my answer has been: 'If you don't believe it, I'll do it again and drive it out of the county.''
