Cool bat and one I wanted for my collection, but thought 1500-2k was being generous.. Doubt ruth ever touched it and those streaks of green do seem out of place.

Was there a reserve on it? Seems like that would be the only reason the bidding could jump that far. Bidding hits $1500 or so with reserve not met and then a single bidder jumps in with a high max bid that trips the reserve and makes the bid instantly $9k.

Noticed that this same bat sold in last night's Mears auction...for about half of what it sold for in November (ebay).
It appears that the bat went through some cleaning/restoration, as the very prominent "rack marks" (as shown in the ebay photos) are now gone. I do have one question regarding Batrite bats and was hoping someone here could shed some light. In reading the Mears description, it states "It is documented that Ruth, Gehrig, & DiMaggio used Batrite bats at various times during their careers." While I know that Gehrig's use of these bats has been well documented, I'm having a difficult time finding any documentation regarding Ruth's use of these bats. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I believe that there is a photo of ruth with a pile of bats in front of him and hanna bats can be seen, however I don't think you can see the barrel if I remember correctly..

Thanks Matt. I always appreciate the help.
I'm assuming there must be something else that I'm missing, since the Mears verbiage is pretty strong in stating it's "documented" that Ruth "used" a Batrite at some point during his career.
