Description

This 34-inch, 36.5 oz. Louisville Slugger 125 signature model has the same high-quality wood as the professional bats, but with different dimensions than what Ruth would have swung. Heavy use is apparent with spike marks on the barrel, but with the lack of significant ball marks, the person using this bat might have been all style and no substance. However, about a dozen neatly placed nails and staples, 'fix' a heavy handle crack, indicating the batter did at least make contact with at least one pitch. This high-quality wood Ruth store model bat has “George ‘Babe’ Ruth” deeply burned in the barrel. A very nice professional model example, one which doesn’t come available very often, and extremely reasonable cost-wise compared to Ruth gamers.
