Babe Ruth circa 1930. The baseball heavyweight's jerseys have broken multiple records at auction The jersey that legendary New York Yankees player Babe Ruth wore when he hit one of baseball’s most famous home runs could sell for US$30 million this month — which would make it by far the most expensive game-worn jersey ever sold.
“The ‘Called Shot’ is something we’re still talking about almost 100 years later, which is incredible,” said Chris Ivy, director of Heritage’s sports auctions, in a call with CNN. “And we’re discussing it because of the controversy, because of the mystery.” Opening bids for Ruth’s “Called Shot” jersey have already surpassed $14 million, almost a week before it’s available at auction. The iconic Yankees garb has been authenticated twice, according to the auction house, and can be photo-matched to two pictures from Getty Images and a third from The Chicago Daily News showing Ruth, teammate Lou Gehrig and manager Joe McCarthy in the dugout.
“Given its history, its mythology, we expect that when the final bid is placed, it will hold the record as the most expensive sports collectible ever to cross the auction block,” he added.Chants of "no justice, no peace" were heard in downtown Edmonton on Saturday at a rally in honour of a man shot and killed by an Edmonton police officer.'Banksy woz ere.
