BABE RUTH

Posted by: () on Mon Aug 4 09:09:56 2003

If Babe Ruth used bats weighing from 40 to 54 ounces, why don't ANY players today use heavy bats? Assuming the Babe used rotational mechanics to hit his homeruns does anyone believe he would have hit more homeruns if he used lighter bats? Is it true the no player has hit a fair ball out of Yankee Stadium? Does anyone know Babe Ruth's longest batted ball in Yankee Stadium?
