I seriously doubt it. If Ruth ever did use one, this bat would meet the right window of time (early 30's, when LS was having an issue with flaking). However, Ruth has stated in more than one documented interview that he never used anything other than a LS bat.
In addition, the bat is rough shape...and all the green streaks on the bat seem a bit odd to me (like someone "trying" to put rack marks on the bat).
Also interesting that the bidding jumped from $1525 to $9K.
