Babe Ruth 40 BR bat question.

Brad- I saw the bat on Ebay & had some questions. Curios to hear the results.

Me too so we'll see at the end of the month. It came with a return policy so nothing to lose.

So thought everyone interested might like an update on this.

Went to JSA on-site in Tampa and will be receiving and full LOA in a couple of weeks in the mail. It was a long wait in the lobby but well worth it and the guys were for JSA were really nice.

Glad it was real as I didn't want to have to deal with the hassle of a return.

Congrats!

Thanks!

Now it's on to figuring out the bat itself. I would love to find out what weight a store model bat came in. My bat is really heavy. I was comparing the Ruth bat to a game used David Ortiz and it made the Ortiz feel like a tooth pick lol.

36-39 is typical on those

Store model no doubt.

amazing really, I wonder how many more homers old timers would have hit had they understood a lighter bat generates more bat speed!

apparently, Chipper Jones switched to a heavier bat (36 oz) to slow his bat speed down because he was getting to out front early. so maybe that's why ruth did it too?
