It's not auction, I think it will be just for sale at the national maybe at tubes booth or someone else. Idk

Does anybody think it's weird that the posting has Ruth's name in the description, but the seller just titled it "Set of 3 Antique Baseball Bats"? Wouldn't you think you would put "Ruth" in the title?

This may be my Hollywood cynicism talking but this seems like the best viral marketing I could think of for the National.

Not really, considering the other items they are selling. They obviously don't know anything about baseball items and to them, they are probably just 3 old bats. Happens quite a bit

Brock why do u seem to know so much about this? Tell what you know please.

I wrote what the seller said " It's going up for sale next week at the national after it's restored."


So I know nothing besides what the seller mentioned. But I don't think it is forsale, I didn't see it on display.

It is the real deal.

Anyone have any better pics of the ruth bat?? I couldn't see crap from the ebay listing.

I think some people know about it but probably won't say anything until (and if) it goes for sale. If it's the real deal, my goodness that's an amazing find. But it all seems a little wishy washy and I'm confused why the seller has the other two bats when eBay registers the $999 for 3 bats as a completed sale. I will admit though that a hearty fraction of my skepticism is coming purely from envy. If anyone at the National could keep an eye out for the bat and report back, that would be awesome.
