Jeff Bagwell’s slugging often drew comparisons to Babe Ruth, but in 2002 he gave fans another reason to compare him to the Bambino. On August 27, Bagwell met with a young cancer patient who asked him to hit a home run for him at that day’s game. Bagwell told the boy “I’m going to try, but I’m not Babe Ruth”. In the fifth inning, Bagwell sent a ball over the left field wall and pointed to the boy in the stands as he triumphantly rounded the bases. Bagwell wasn’t Babe Ruth, but he sure came close! The Louisville Slugger B363 model bat shows light use and is un-cracked. The bat comes with a full GU 8 graded LOA from PSA/DNA (1B12625) for the game use.
