Is there any meaning to 'R34' stamped on the heel of a Babe Ruth bat? |

R34 on Babe Ruth Bat
Yes, definitive meaning. The code you've described discerns this as a "store-model" bat, meaning a bat available through retail outlets, versus actually ordered and/or used by a professional ballplayer. With regard specifically to a store-model Babe Ruth bat, the "R" stands for "Ruth," and the "34" designates the length of the bat - 34 inches. If you measure your bat from the top of its barrel to end of the "knob," you'll likely find this is its length. Older store-model Ruth bats have value to today's collector, depending on their condition and vintage. The older and nicer, the better.
