What is the value of a mini baseball bat signed by Babe Ruth?
Items featuring the genuine autograph of Babe Ruth are highly sought by collectors and potentially very valuable. Unfortunately, they are also very often forged. Presuming authenticity, values can range dramatically. Key factors are: the placement, size and clarity of Ruth's signature (the bigger and bolder, the better), and the all-important overall condition of the bat and signature. The provenance; the who, what, when and where of a signed item's history, may also add value if documented. If genuine, your bat would be worth $600 to as much as $1500, depending on all the aforementioned factors. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process.
Did Babe Ruth wear Number 3 with the Boston Red Sox?
Babe Ruth didn't wear a number until 1929, and then wore the # 3 for the rest of his career. It is possible that the flamboyant Babe Ruth wore #0 during a barnstorming tour but only as a joke. Never in the Majors.
The first team to use numbers on uniforms was the 1916 Cleveland Indians when they wore small numbers on the sleeves of their uniforms, as a way of identifying the players. This practice was short lived.
in 1929 the New York Yankees decided to wear numbers to the backs of their jerseys. The numbers corresponded to each player's general position in the lineup.for example Babe Ruth wore No. 3, since he usually batted third, and Lou Gehrig wore No. 4 as he batted fourth.
Visible from long distances, the numbers made it easier for fans to distinguish players from their seats, and easier for play-by-play radio announcers to identify players during their broadcasts.
Other teams soon followed, and by 1932, every one of the 16 major league teams featured numbers on the backs of their jerseys. Many Players have had their uniform number retired by their respective teams. Once a uniform number is retired that number could no longer be worn by another player from that team.
April 15, 1997 Major League baseball retired Jackie Robinson's uniform number 42. From that point on the number 42 cannot be issued or worn by another Major league player from any team. The one exception is Mariano Rivera who already had the number, and will be the last player to wear the number 42. If you search for a player on Baseball-Almanac.com you could find the uniform numbers that players wore during their career, year by year.
How much is a babe Ruth signed glove worth?

Babe Ruth Signed Baseball CapSignatures will vary in price based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, the item signed, and how well the item displays the signature.Baseballs are the most common, and preferred by collectors because of it's connection to the game, low cost, availability and it displays the signature well. The signed baseball represents the average price for a signature, and by deducting or adding from this price for the Item signed accordingly will give you a good idea on value.The lowest priced signed item would be for a "cut Signature." A cut signature is a signature on a piece of paper, or "cut" from a larger piece. Index cards are the next step up, and both sell at a fraction (about 10%-20%) the price of an autographed baseball. Autograph photos typically sell at about 40-60 percent the price of a baseball with bats, uniform Jersey's, HATS, and equipment selling at a higher price due to the higher cost of the item,rarity and display.
In general if an autographed baseball is worth $100. the same autograph on a 8 x 10 photo $50. a cut signature $20. on a bat or a hat $150. The percentage of the price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is.
In the case of Babe Ruth, his signature is one of the most prized signatures in the hobby. Baseball Caps or hats were not as available to be signed. Babe Ruth signed a lot of baseballs and a signed "hat" by the babe would be far more rare. A signed "hat" by Babe Ruth could sell for much more money than the price of a signed baseball.
A Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. As with a signed hat the value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The quality and type of the hat, and how well it displays the signature will effect the price. A vintage baseball cap of either the Red Sox or Yankees would be most desired, and could sell at about $15, 000. or more.
The signature should be bold, strong, and stand out in contrast to the "hat". A weak, and faded signature will sell for less. Sharpie was not available in Ruth's day, and most signatures were signed with a fountain pen.
If the signature is not properly authenticated the signed picture could sell at half the market value or less. For more information and a sample of a Babe Ruth signature visit the link I left below.

I don't know of a .06 cent Babe Ruth postage stamp issued by the Post Office. You would have to provide more information.

It would be hard to sell one stamp for more than .50 cents Collectors typically buy collectible stamps in sheets, or "plate blocks" of 4.

What was something important about Babe Ruth?
He missed a home run
The Babe had a number of vices, he drank heavily, had a very foul mouth, ate way too much (which changed his physique from its initial lanky form to the tubby one that is often remembered) and tended to drive his car way to fast - crashing his car several times. He stayed out late, completely ignoring team curfews - often to the detriment of his normally amazing performance. Probably his worst fault though was his infidelity to his wife. He missed most of the 1925 season due to complications from Gonorrhea. Considering his constant womanizing, this is hardly surprising.

No. Through MLB games played on June 17, 2008 Babe Ruth is 87th on the MLB career strikeout list with 1,330. On the all time single season list, Babe Ruth is not in the MLB top 500.

The Company that first produced the candy bar claimed it was named after Ruth Clevland but it's been heavily speculated that it was a way to capitalize on Babe Ruth's popularity without compensating him. The candy bar came out in 1921 when Ruth was probably the biggest celebrity in America and 15 years after Ruth Clevland had died. Ruth took legal action against the company to try to get compensation but lost. In the 90's Ruth's estate and Nestle actually made an agreement to use Ruth in their marketing.
What was babe Ruth's favorite books and movie?
I believe there are a few book. In 1948, Pocket Books published The Babe Ruth Story by Babe Ruth, as told to veteran sportscaster Bob Considine (Pocket #562, 1948). The cover shows "The Babe" and his distinctive home-run swing. This is a wonderful autobiography of the bad kid who grew up to be one of the greatest sports heroes and then tried to help other kids in need. The Babe dedicated the book "to the Kids of America."

Brother Mathias would have a very positive influence on George's life, despite his reputation for unruliness. Brother Matthias, a very large, muscular man, became an inspiration to George in baseball as well as in other aspects of his life. The time spent with Brother Matthias not only helped hone George's swing, but the guidance and encouragement gave him much needed support that would translate into George's unfettering love of children in later years.

What year did Babe Ruth start playing ball?
Babe Ruth learned to play baseball at St. Mary's Industrial School in Baltimore when he was 7 years old.
Babe Ruth made his Major League debut with the Boston Red Sox on April 11, 1914. He was sent down to the minors twice that year, and was also a pitcher for the 1914 Baltimore/Providence Grays, a double A team in the international League. In 1915 he was in the Majors for good, playing with the Red Sox until 1919, and was then sold to the New York Yankees. He would play with the Yankees from 1920-1934, and the Boston Braves in 1935.
As far as is known, Yes. There have been periodic rumors about a racially mixed Ruth for a good number of years, but one notices that the responsible sporting press generally avoids the discussion. the First Black Player in the Majors, according to baseball history, was Jackie Robinson. There were no Blacks in Organized baseball in the years when Ruth was playing. If Ruth had been Black or even racially mixed, surely the magazines such as (Jet) and (Ebony) would have made a big thing about it.
