Harold Muddy Ruel Single Signed ONL Baseball. Ruel was one of the top defensive catchers of hi era. He was notable for being the personal catcher for Hall of Famer Walter Johnson and also for scoring the winning run for the Washington Senators in Game 7 of the 1924 World Series. Ruel passed away in 1963 and single signed baseballs are nearly non existent. This is only the second example we have seen in over two decades of completed listings. A true rarity! Full LOA from JSA.
