Just wondering, if Ruth gripped a bat like Cobb, would his top hand slide down on the handle before pulling the trigger?

Good luck with the sale it is a very cool item.

Crazily the first PEDs(testosterone injections) was extracted from dogs. It involved a syringe being inserted into the delicate part of a dog.
