Babe Ruth's jersey from the 1932 World Series, during which he allegedly made his famous 'called shot,' has sold for a record $24.12 million at Heritage Auctions, making it the most valuable piece of sports memorabilia ever sold. The jersey, authenticated by multiple photographs, was part of an intense six-hour bidding war and eclipsed the previous record set by a Mickey Mantle baseball card. Ruth's legendary moment, where he seemingly pointed to the outfield before hitting a home run off Cubs pitcher Charlie Root, remains shrouded in mystery and speculation. Chris Ivy, director of sports auctions at Heritage, likened the jersey's significance to that of the Mona Lisa, highlighting its enduring place in American sports history. The jersey's sale marks the first public auction in 19 years, and its value was initially estimated at $30 million. Heritage Auctions confirmed the identity of the new owner remains undisclosed.
