Really???

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.

It would be Interesting to see exactly what documentation they have .

I agree...would love to see it.

I really wanted to purchase this bat, but just couldn't find enough info for me to feel comfortable going any higher.

With Ruth making statements such as," I learned recently that according to the records of Hillerich & Bradsby, who made every bat I ever used, more Louisville Sluggers were made up for my personal use than for any other single player. "

It doesn't seem out of the question that Ruth would have swung a Batrite (or at least given it a shot in bp) in the early 30's (when H&B was having a "flaking issue")....but I can't find anything to support that theory.
