It depends on who it's signed by.
Chipper Jones has the Ozzy Osbourne song "Crazy Train" play when he is coming up to bat.
Atlanta Braves lead the MLB with 25 last at bat wins this season. It's the same number of last at bat wins they had when they led the league in that category in 1995, the last year they won the World Series.

Doumit told the team he hurt his right wrist during an at bat against the Atlanta Braves in a game played April 19. A CT scan showed a fracture of the scaphoid bone in his right wrist.
Try to use a bat closest to the size, and model the player used. The better the quality of the bat the higher resale value it will have. If you can get the signature authenticated on the spot do it. Signature that are not properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.
they are known for both BAT COUNTRY and BEAST AND THE HARLOT
I have a 1950s Louisville Slugger bat marked Black Beauty and also with Ted Williams stamped signature
Signatures will vary in price based on condition, the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature, the item signed, and how well the item displays the signature.Baseballs are the most common, and preferred by collectors because of it's connection to the game, low cost, availability and it displays the signature well. The signed baseball represents the average price for a signature, and by deducting or adding from this price for the Item signed accordingly will give you a good idea on value.Baseball bats, uniform Jersey's and equipment sell at a higher price due to the higher cost of the item, rarity and display. A signed baseball bat typically sells at about 150 % the price of a signed baseball. The percentage of the price could also vary based on the popularity of the player, and how sought after the signature is.Search the archives of a few auction houses, and see if you can find a signed bat by the player you are looking for. If you cannot find a signed bat, as stated above, average out the value of signed baseballs, and add 50 % to that. This should give you a ballpark figure on the value of your bat. When doing so take notice of condition, the strength of the signature, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.The type of bat could also figure into the value. A stock bat made for autographs will sell for less than a baseball bat closest to the size, make, and model that the ballplayer used.
Stall & Dean Bat with Tris Speaker decal, engraved signature, # 17, 'A' carved on the handle base ?
It is very rare to come across an autographed Babe Ruth baseball bat. There are not enough signed Babe Ruth bats to give you an accurate value. It wasn't a common item to have signed in Ruth's day. Baseballs were readily available, and Ruth signed plenty. Fountain pens were used to sign most autographs, and it might have been a bad choice to sign a bat. I did find a bat that was painted silver before Babe Ruth personally inscribed and dated his Fountain pen signature on it. The bat sold for $12,969. I would think that a higher quality baseball bat would sell for $20,000. and up.You might have a Babe Ruth endorsed signature model baseball bat. This signature that appears on the bat is stamped on at the factory, and is placed on the barrel. Depending on the condition, size, make, and model it could be worth between $300. -$500. Bats with decals, and pro model bat would be worth more.
Louisville Slugger 40 ModelThe model 40 was a secondary line of autograph models offered by Louisville Slugger, and was a very popular model from the 1916 -1929 era. If you have a 40 model it might have the initials of the player following the number 40. For example a 40 B.R. would be a Babe Ruth bat. If the bat is in bad condition it is possible that the signature wore off. It will then have very little collectors value. This bat could have also been a decal bat, and it wore off. The decal would have been on the barrel, and this would also explain why you can't find the signature. With decal bats the bulk of the value relies on the condition of the decal, and again if the decal has worn off would have very little collectors value.
