This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
Highly desirable, this H&B Louisville Slugger Babe Ruth bat hails from the 1921-31 labeling period, and while lacking the mighty proportions of lumber swung by the Sultan, it is a professional model possibly team ordered as an index bat. 33" in length with a weight of 31 ounces, the signature model bat shows "heavy signs of use" according to the accompanying Mears LOA, and sports a 12" split which runs through the barrel stamping, with dry rot to the top of the barrel and a crack to the handle. The knob is also clean with no length stamping - a trait of a professional model bat.
