Didn’t it come out before the hitter? The Baby Ruth I mean.

ETA: nope! It was released in 1920 and while the company said it was named after Grover Cleveland’s daughter, the candy bar was released 24 years after the Cleveland presidency ended and it was obviously just a move to avoid paying Ruth (the ball player) royalties.
