And Greg Luzinski, who looked like a middle linebacker, off-season used one of the lighter bats IIRC. My BIL, who was a recognized baseball memorabilia expert around Philadelphia owned one or two of Ruth's bats. They were huge, with very thick handles, 42 oz., although he went lighter late in his career.
