Babe Ruth broke about every record there was in baseball during his Hall of Fame career. Why not add a memorabilia record to that list?
A rare game-worn jersey from the Sultan of Swat will go up for auction Saturday in a bid to break the record for the most pricey piece of sports memorabilia ever. Of course, just like he did four times with the MLB home run record, he'd be breaking his own memorabilia record.
The jersey dates back to the late 1920s, when the Bambino would've been in his hitting prime. He set the home run record that would stand until 1961 in the 1927 season and hit at least 45 homers each season from 1926 to 1931. The jersey does not bear pinstripes, it's a road gray jersey, but it does have"YANKEES" emblazoned across the front, which only existed from 1927 to 1930. The team generally has had an arched"NEW YORK" on the front of road jerseys and the famous interlocking"N-Y" on the front on their home uniforms.
