Mears says that bats can lose acouple of ounces. So this bat could have been around 33-34 ounces back then.

Allow me to slightly modify my OP...did Ruth ever use a 32 oz bat in a MAJOR LEAGUE baseball game?

John Taube
Isnt Taube supposed to be the man as far as bats are concerned? Also Vince Malta? I see their name is NO WHERE on the LOA for this bat.

Mears does most of the vintage bats. They do alot of research. I think John and Vince are better for bats from the 1950's and up.
Zinn Beck 300 model bats i believe are still professional models, so there is a chance Babe Ruth could have used it. Also for Zinn Beck bats, the records are incomplete, so we dont know for sure. Also if you want a Babe Ruth bat its alot cheaper then his Hillerich & Bradsby game used bat.

So a Mears A6 means there's "a chance" the Babe Ruth may have used a 32 oz bat in the Major Leagure Game, right?

I wouldnt touch that bat period. If you cant afford an H&B that is within the measurements that Babe was KNOWN to use, then let it go.
