If we go by an entertaining kids' movie, it was called Darlin', but Ruth didn't have such a preferred bat in real life.

That is true, but the stats base is still the same....HR's per career. Now if you want to get into HR/AB or something like that, that opens a different stat category entirely. One of the first arguments about stats that I ever had, and one that went on entirely too long, also concerned Ruth. Then it was HR/season. When Maris hit 61 in"61 he had the benefit of a newly lengthened a season. The widespread argument resulted in that famous asterisk being permanently affixed to Maris' name in the record book. My argument against that said the record was for an unqualified season. You could close the book on Ruth where he would reign eternally supreme in the 154 game season. Or, and here is where I was called a heretic, you could put an asterisk next to Ruth, citing that fact. I remember mentioning the Maris-Ruth controversy to a friend of mine for the first time during McGuire's 70 HR season and was surprised at how strong his feelings still were. Time did not heal that wound.

I could be wrong but wasnt the Lousville slugger named after Mantle? In which case, theres no way Ruth could have used it.

I thought he called one of his bats 'black betsy', not sure though.
