Nope. That was Marathon.
"Oh Henry" was almost exactly like a Baby Ruth.
(log shaped, nougat center, coated in caramel and peanuts, enrobed in
chocolate).

I remember Henry Aaron was the spokesperson for Oh Henry right around the
time he broke Babe Ruth's home run record. I think that was about when I
realized Oh Henry and Baby Ruth were identical candies.

Later, the Reggie Bar came out, named for Reggie Jackson, and I remember
asking my dad why it seemed all the candy bars named for ball players were
basically the same, only the shapes were different. He didn't know either.
