Here's mine, acquired just recently, and mentioned in another thread. I love it, it's very special to me. 2014 Jeter Game Used Home Uniform (photo-matched).

Unfortunately, there is no provenance linking Ruth to the bat. Mears gave it an A5, and said it is both a pro model and a store model. However, if there was, I would never have been able to afford it!
That said, it has some clear use. It is 35"and currently weighs 37 ounces. So it probably weighed 40(ish?) ounces back in the day? Someone was strong enough to crack it; so I definitely think there is a chance.
I have never seen a photo of Ruth using a Hanna bat, and would love it if someone showed me one. But I did see the Gehrig bat, so I am always holding out hope!
That Jeter uniform is fantastic!
