The size of Babe Ruth's bat varied depending on the year. It is rumored that at the beginning of his career he used a 54 ounce hickory bat, but I am not sure whether this is accurate information or not. The bat he used to hit the very first home run hit at Yankee Stadium in 1923 was 36 inches, 46 ounces, and was made of ash. In 1927, when he hit 60 homeruns, he used a 40 ounce bat.
