And, of course, Babe was a Left handed thrower.
Certainly not a Babe glove, FWIW. Last edited by Scott Garner; 08-28-2021 at 08:54 PM. |

Not even in the same ballpark as a professional quality Mitt. Cheap youth model... almost a toy glove.

So then is the inference that the auction house unknowingly messed up? Purposely misled? Or that Ruth indeed used a cheap toy glove on occasion?

The Glove was originally purchased at an estate sale. The ebay seller stated that he figured that the glove was marked up by some kids and one of them tried to fake a Babe Ruth signature!! He was totally up front with his listing and we actually messaged each other back and forth a couple of times as I was trying to get as much information on the glove from him as I could. I don't think Ruth would have used anything cheap during his playing days!! Its just a interesting piece that sits in my memorabilia room. It was worth the $50.00 to me just as a display item and a fun conversation piece.

Ruth had the cream of the crop to pick from. Auction house have said that store model gloves have been Ruth game used/Owned etc to boost their profile and profits
