Hall of Fame
Bath is the only player to have won a premiership in every season of his Sydney first-grade career (1946 and 1947 with Balmain and 1957–1959 with St. George). His eight goals from eight attempts in the 1957 Grand Final is the standing record for the most goals in a grand final and the most number of points scored in a grand final (16).
He holds two places in the record of top pointscorers in one season by position. His 205 points scored in 1959 are the most ever scored by a prop-forward in a season and the 225 points of 1958 stands as the most ever scored by a second-rower in a season.
Harry Bath was recognised in 2004 for his outstanding achievements in playing and coaching rugby league when was inducted into the Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame.
In February 2008, Bath was named in a list of Australia's 100 Greatest Players (1908–2007) which was commissioned by the NRL and ARL to celebrate the code's centenary year in Australia.

—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.”
