Ruth was wearing his road gray No.
3 jersey when he played against the Chicago Cubs in the 1932 World Series.
He appeared to gesture toward something in center field just before hitting a fifth-inning home run into the bleachers.
Owning a Babe Ruth jersey would be pretty fucking awesome.
But $30 million dollars?
Is it THAT much cooler than owning a Michael Jordan jersey?
One from the 1998 NBA Finals sold for $10.1 millions dollars in 2022.
But, how do they know THIS is the jersey?
There is even still a ton of doubt whether he called his shot at all.
This 4 minute video is a pretty great breakdown of it.
But I get it.
It’s the moment itself that is special.
For $30 million dollars, I’d want to be really fucking sure.
It’s crazy how even though it’s still a Yankees hat, how different it looks.
I love that Wells did this.
It’s such a cool way to honor baseball history.
Fun fact: the Yankees logo was designed by Tiffany’s.
$30 million dollars is such a huge amount.
How rich would you have to be to make a purchase like this?
You’d have to be worth at least $400 million to have this money to throw around.
Would you ever wear the jersey?
You’d have to at least once right?
Run around outside recreating the shot while playing whiffle ball with your friends?
Then I’d get it displayed.
The only drawback is I bet it smells weird.
The Babe didn’t seem like the cleanest guy and old clothes smell weird anyway.
