Babe Ruth's Jersey Expected to Fetch $30 Million

A jersey worn by baseball legend Babe Ruth during his infamous 'Called Shot' home run in the 1932 World Series is set to be auctioned, with expectations of it fetching up to $30 million, potentially making it the most expensive game-worn jersey ever sold. The jersey currently has a bid of $14.1 million, and the auction will take place from August 23 to 25. Ruth's gesture before hitting the home run remains a point of contention, with debates on whether he was truly calling his shot or simply pointing. This piece of memorabilia, which has been linked to Ruth's storied career of 714 home runs and seven World Series titles, was previously sold for under $1 million in the 1990s. Heritage Auctions' Chris Ivy noted that the jersey represents a significant piece of American sports history, highlighting its enduring legacy nearly 100 years later. With the auction approaching, interest from collectors is expected to escalate dramatically as the date nears.
