Babe Ruth Hanna Batrite Bat
I am looking for some info on a bat. It's a Hanna Batrite with Ruth's name on it. I have done a fair share of googling and cant find another like it without the batwing logo. It measures 35 1/2 inches and weighs a lot compared to my other bats.. Interested if anybody can share some info with me?
Thanks for your time. Cody K Last edited by COdyK; 04-04-2017 at 09:59 PM. Reason: add pictures |

1930 or younger bat. The TA stands for tempered ash the 5 was Ruth's numbers for Hanna and the 6 was 36" bat
Nice bat |

Babe Ruth Bat
Thanks i have read that about his model 5 and the length being 36". Also that TA is Tempered Ash and the highest quality for pro players. How do you know the year? And can you tell if it was made for Ruth or was it a store bought model? Any input is much appreciated.

Nice looking bat
You should weigh it and let us know the results.
Over at the MEARS Authentication site, they have records of 2 Ruth TA54 bats and 2 Ruth TA55 bats. You should take a look at the bats on that site. Does the knob appear to be finished, like the barrel of the bat? or is it unfinished? If I understand correctly, an unfinished knob with some rasp marks is what MEARS calls "hand turned." |

Why don't you at least tell them the awesome auction where you purchased this bat?

Ruth Bat Weight
Had it weighed at the local post office and it came in at 33.2 oz. Sounds about right considering some drying over the years..
Any thoughts?? Thanks |

That looks like a nice example of a Ruth Hanna bat. I still don't see why this concludes mine is a store bat? Because of the weight? From my understanding Ruth lightened his weight later in his career and also could have lost up to 4 ounces or so... So my bat is a later model Hanna that has no patent stamp on the knob, and to me exhibits Ruth game use characteristics with checking, swelling, cleat marks, dugout stair marks as seen on other Ruth H&B bats, and some paint scuffs, possibly from the bat racks... Measures 35 1/2 inches, not 36" like a store bat model ta 56 would have came out, to me meaning it must have been shortened at some point.. and the weight being 33.2 oz could put it in the 37-38 ounce region is what some of his 30's bats weigh. In 2005 somebody posted a link of Ruth with a Hanna bat on here. Anybody know anything about that picture?? The link has stopped working now
Thanks Cody |
