Rare Babe Ruth Yankees Jersey Expected to Sell for over $4.5M at Auction

A game-used New York Yankees jersey worn by Babe Ruth in the late 1920s is expected to set the all-time world sales record for a piece of sports memorabilia with an expected price tag of over $4.5 million when it hits the auction block June 15.

On Tuesday, Emily Caron of Sports Illustrated reported the jersey, which will be sold by Hunt Auctions, is extraordinarily rare because it has "Yankees" written across the chest. The club has predominately used pinstripe uniforms with just a logo at home and gray uniforms with New York on the chest on the road.
