How can you tell if a Babe Ruth Esso Boys Club pin is real?
The original pins where given out by Esso Stations when you joined the Babe Ruth Boys Club. Babe Ruth did a number of promotions for Esso which included the Esso Sponsored Boys club. There are many modern reproduction or "fantasy" pins on the market, and are sometimes sold as original to unsuspecting collectors. The original pins, as compared to the reproductions, have a bolder lettering. It is very evident if you hold them side by side. The original pin also has more detail on the "baseball stitching" as it has lines indicating a seam of a baseball, or "pilot holes". The reproduction does not have this feature. See Related Links Below for a comparison of both the reproduction, and the original pin.
What was the name of Babe Ruth's bat?
The size of Babe Ruth's bat varied depending on the year. It is rumored that at the beginning of his career he used a 54 ounce hickory bat, but I am not sure whether this is accurate information or not. The bat he used to hit the very first home run hit at Yankee Stadium in 1923 was 36 inches, 46 ounces, and was made of ash. In 1927, when he hit 60 homeruns, he used a 40 ounce bat.
What is the value of an original Babe Ruth baseball bat which is about 50-60 years old?
In general a Babe Ruth store model bat could be worth between $200. -$500. Besides condition there are many factors that will effect the price more or less. Baseball bats closest to the players size and model number that was used during his playing days will sell at a higher price. Decal bats are very desirable and could sell in the $1,000.'s
The dating of the bat is one of the most important factors on value along with condition. Hillerich & Bradsby Co. Louisville Slugger has used different oval center brands in their history. By identifying the center label, trade marks, and patens you can narrow down the year to what era the bat was made.
For example: a bat made between 1916 - 1929 will have HILLERERICH & BRADSBY Co in the center label as opposed to J.F. HILLERERICH & SON Co as the bats made before. TRADE MARK REG US PAT OFF appears below the oval and changed to TRADE MARK REG in 1930.
"Bone Rubbed" is a process to harden the surface of the bat and appears on bats made in the 1920s The "Powerized"process was first used, and patented by the Hillerich & Bradsby Co. in 1931 and has pat. pending beneath the stamp. Powerized and Bone Rubbed" logo is used during the 1932 season. In 1933 and 1934 you will see it stamped "Powerized and Oil Tempered" which usually is a very light heat foil type print. in 1935 until present, they go with just "Powerized"
During the 1980's Louisville Slugger issued these replicas of Babe Ruth's last style bat, and stamped 1935 on the knob. The majority of these were sold through a mail order company called J. Petterman and listed at around $100. Yes. The same J. Petterman catalogue featured on the television comedy series Seinfeld. These replica bats sell for about $55.-$125, on eBay.

How much is a 1938 signed Babe Ruth baseball worth?
One of the most prized signatures in the hobby a Babe Ruth single signed baseball in general is worth about $6,000.-$10,000. Value may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. The type of baseball will also effect the price with an Official American league baseball from Ruth's playing days being of the most value.
A baseball in poor condition with a weak signature could sell in the $4,000. price range or less, and a minty baseball with a strong signature could sell in the $15,000 price range or more. But with all said the strength of the authenticity that accompanies the signature will hold the bulk of the value. The baseball will not have a higher value being signed in 1938 unless the Babe Inscribed it as such. A signature with the quotation marks around "Babe" that typified his pre-1928 autograph will sell at a higher value. If the signature is not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less

How did Babe Ruth save baseball?
Actually, Ruth did not do it single handed, but he helped. The real answer is threefold.....1.) A new "live ball" was introduced under similar circumstances as it was after the modern era's strike shortened season. 2.) Walter Johnson was every bit Ruth's equal in popularity at the time and his 1924 Senators helped reestablish baseball with their dramatic rise to prominence and game seven 12 inning win over the Giants in the World Series. 3.) Babe Ruth, no doubt he is given the lion's share credit and deserves much of it, however even the Babe was helped by the "live ball". Revisionist often forget to point out change in the ball and Johnson's contribution.
