The jersey Babe Ruth wore during Game 3 of the 1932 World Series is now up for auction.
Legend says Ruth pointed to the outfield before hitting a home run into center field, but some think he was pointing at the pitcher or Cubs dugout instead. He was mad at the Cubs for not giving his old teammate Mark Koenig a full bonus.
Ruth’s team won that game 7-5, with him hitting two home runs and getting four RBIs. They swept the World Series 4-0.
Iconic Jersey Up for Auction:
Heritage Auctions has listed this famous jersey, and bids have already reached nearly $15 million. Fans might wonder if it will break records given its legendary status.

The auction will happen during Heritage’s Summer Platinum Night Sports Auction. Given past sales, like a different Ruth jersey selling for $5.64 million in 2019, this one could fetch even more.
What do you think about such high prices for sports memorabilia?
