In 1969 at an estate sale in New York City, was one of the few times I didn't have enough funds to purchase what must have been the bat Ruth used to hit the called shot in the 1932 World Series. Ruth had signed the bat "To Eddie, Game 3 HR 1932 WS" and according to the letters and documents accompanying the bat, it was given to the crippled former Yankee batboy Eddie Bennett by Ruth after the game ended. When Bennett died way back in the mid 30s, the man whose estate sale I attended, ended up with it.
To this day, I have never heard of it resurfacing.
