Picked up a Babe Ruth bat at an estate "tag" sale here in waterloo, IA yesterday. It is not in very good shape but for 5.00. I thought...."its got to be worth that"
Can someone who knows more about bats than me help out....it is a: Louisville slugger 40 hillrich and bradsby Co Made in U.S.A. Louisville, KY. (all this in an oval) REG US PAT OFF. (under oval) OIL TEMPERED (to the side of the logo), George "Babe" Ruth (in script signature) Louisville Slugger below the signature and another word above the signature but cant say for sure...but maybe "genuine"....it also has a crack and many cleat marks or other abuse on the barrel of the bat. It also has 34 engraved on the handle. So was my 5.00 investment worth it? Is this a store type bat a real major league? any idea on the age? Thanks for helping.
