A historic New York Yankees jersey worn by Babe Ruth during his iconic "called shot" in the 1932 World Series will be auctioned this Saturday in Dallas. Heritage Auctions believes the jersey could fetch up to $30 million. Ruth's "called shot" occurred during Game 3 against the Chicago Cubs, when he pointed and then hit a home run off pitcher Charlie Root. This memorable play happened on October 1, 1932, at Chicago's Wrigley Field. The Yankees won that game 7-5 and swept the Cubs to clinch the series.
According to Mike Provenzale of Heritage's sports department, the "called shot" was Ruth's last home run in a World Series. Provenzale commented, "When you can tie an item like that to an important figure and their most important moment, that's what collectors are really looking for." Ruth originally gave the jersey to a friend in the 1940s, and it has since changed hands multiple times, with its most recent sale in 2005 bringing $940,000. Another of Ruth's road jerseys sold for $5.64 million in 2019. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
