"GOING! GOING! GONE!"

Babe's Ruth's 1920 NY Yankee road uniform jersey sells for a record $ 4.4 Million

 The home-run king of baseball Babe Ruth's jersey was sold in an auction this past weekend. It's a grey jersey with blue lettering which says "NEW YORK" and his name stitched inside the back of the jersey, there are some stains on the front of the shirt which is probably of his own doing. In his 22 year career as a pro baseball player Babe Ruth only made a total of $ 911,000. The selling of the jersey makes history as the higest sold baseball artifact in major league baseball history.
