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.
