WOW.. This is one of the threads where guys like Bushing, JT, Zane, Art Jaffe, etc would share there thoughts.

As far as what BigJJ said, he couldn't be more wrong. Kork grip bats were produced for retail and professional use. Look for pro models to be hand turned, with no inch and match player specs. Retail have inch marks.

A 40 br is in NO WAY related to the 40k's. A 40 Br is a retail Babe ruth bat. PLease note, 125 bats were also made for retail, and again have inch marks.

As far some of the other questions.. yes, a mint original ruth bat could have the use faked on it and you would never know unless you did it. There are traits to look for on many bats, such as locations of ball marks, concentration of use, tape patterns etc.

BigJJ, would you mind signing your name so we know who we are talking with.
