Babe’s baseball bats are quite powerful decades afterwards

No matter how you look at it, Babe Ruth swung a big stick.

The bats he used during 22 seasons as baseball’s Sultan of Swat produced 2,873 hits and a remarkable 714 home runs.

Each weighed between 42 and 44 ounces (compared to bats favored by today’s sluggers which are about ten ounces lighter).
